Technical Grade H202 ( Hydrogen Peroxide )If any substance is interesting,
it's hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen
dioxide. Its chemical formula is H202 . It contains one more atom of oxygen
that does water (H20 )
By now everyone's aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone
consists of three atoms of oxygen . This protective layer of ozone is created
when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule into
two single, unstable oxygen atoms.
These single molecules combine with others to form ozone . Ozone isn't very
stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling
rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H202 ).
It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective
than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric
pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and
never reach the ground.
To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by
spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with
20 gallons of water per acre).
H202 is a natural sustance, in fact, our body produces H202 to fight infections
when we are sick.
