GeneralHydrogen peroxide is used as a cleaning agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many
microorganisms; it decomposes upon contact with blood, releasing elemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams upon
contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the reaction of an acid on an alkaline
earth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide.
BaO₂ (s) + HCl(aq) → H,O2(aq) + BaCl2(aq)
