HOMBA Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I know that people add hydrogen peroxide to their laundry in order to clean their clothes better. How will the effectiveness of H2O2 change according to ice cold water, room temp water, and boiling water? Wouldn't it "denature" when the temperature is too high? Or would increasing the temperature be beneficial no matter what?
hypervalent_iodine Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Denaturation applies to macromolecules in the context you are referring to; those processes don't apply here, since H2O2 is a small molecule.
