Influence of Mechanical Effects on the Hydrogen Peroxide Concentration in Aqueous Solutions

Resumo

An experiment has been performed, where water enriched in hydrogen peroxide was subjected to multiply dilution under mechanical action. It is established that, when the number of dilutions reaches a certain level, the correlation between the hydrogen peroxide concentration and the number of dilutions is lost; i.e., the concentration ceases to depend on the number of dilutions. Moreover, it is even somewhat increases because of the mechanical action accompanying the dilution. The hydrogen peroxide generation rate amounts to 10⁻⁹ (mol l⁻¹)min⁻¹ for impact times of few minutes.
