SODIUM PEROXIDE FOR SYNTHESIS GRANULAR
Sodium peroxide is a strong oxidizing and bleaching agent mainly used in bleaching papers and textiles. It is an effective oxidizing flux for the decomposition of minerals and ores.
sodium peroxide dissolves in hot water, then it forms sodium hydroxide and oxygen. When sodium peroxide dissolves in cold water, then it forms sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. In this reaction sodium peroxide reacts with cold water very violently, hence it is exothermic in nature.
Sodium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2O2. This yellowish solid is the product of sodium ignited in excess oxygen.
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react as shown in this equation. NaOH(aq)+HCl(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)
