Why does hydrogen peroxide burn after a while?

Why does hydrogen peroxide burn if it's just oxygen?

  • And why does it fizz when you put on on a cut or anything?

  • Answer:

    Don't close the credit card account, just pay it off and leave it open. You may have to pay small administrative charges every year, but an open non-charged credit card does wonders for your credit rating. It shows you readily pay your debts and have little problem paying back when you borrow or buy on credit.

Hydrogen peroxide is two hydrogens and two oxygens (H2O2). It's basically water with an extra H (or proton, whatever). It bubbles (I've also never had it burn but reeeeeally sensitive people may notice this) because it's loosing that extra H. The actual reaction that happens is a little more complicated due to the hydrogen bonding that water experiences. In short: H2O2 -> H2O + H+
