Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A binary compound of hydrogen and oxygen, empirical formula H2O2, used mostly in dilute aqueous solutions as an oxidizing agent [and of which the] most remarkable feature is its tendency to decompose readily into water and oxygen, the first instance of contact analysis. 6, record 1, English, - hydrogen%20peroxide

hydrogen peroxide: Refers to the anhydrous form (i.e. "anhydrous hydrogen peroxide"), but the term is also commonly used for hydrogen peroxide solutions (marketed as solutions in water concentrations of 3 to 90% by weight). See also "hydrogen peroxide solution." 9, record 1, English, - hydrogen%20peroxide

peroxide: This term is used in common usage as an abbreviation for "hydrogen peroxide" but must not be considered as a true synonym of this latter term in a systematic sense; it does not correspond to the CAS number for "hydrogen peroxide." 2, record 1, English, - hydrogen%20peroxide

On distingue notamment : a) l'eau oxygénée concentrée, solution aqueuse acide contenant 30 % en poids de peroxyde d'hydrogène, utilisée avec précautions contre certaines lésions de la peau; b) l'eau oxygénée officinale, contenant environ 3 % en poids (8 à 12 % en volume) de peroxyde d'hydrogène, utilisée comme hémostatique et comme désinfectant. L'eau oxygénée concentrée à 20 volumes est utilisée pour la décoloration des cheveux. 7, record 1, French, - peroxyde%20d%27hydrog%C3%A8ne

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
peroxyde : Ce terme est utilisé dans la vie courante comme abréviation de «peroxyde d'hydrogène», mais n'est pas un synonyme de ce dernier terme au sens strict; ce nom ne correspond pas au numéro CAS (du Chemical Abstracts Service) pour le peroxyde d'hydrogène. La prudence s'impose donc dans son emploi. Voir aussi l'autre fiche pour «peroxyde». 2, record 1, French, - peroxyde%20d%27hydrog%C3%A8ne

Another sink for ozone involves fragments of water molecules. Water vapor occurs naturally in the stratosphere, and water molecules are also split apart by ultraviolet rays, giving a collection of hydrogen atoms (H), hydroxyl radicals (HO) and hydroperoxyl radicals (HOO). Collectively they can be symbolized by HOx. 5, record 2, English, - hydrogen%20dioxide

Il apparaît que la chimie des oxydes d'azote, de soufre et de carbone, de l'ozone et des constituants organiques, qui met toujours en jeu les radicaux hydroxyles et hydropéroxyles, forme un tout indissociable qui ne peut être appréhendé que dans son ensemble. Ces mécanismes contrôlent, en particulier, la formation des photooxydants et d'une partie des acides dans la basse troposphère. 4, record 2, French, - dioxyde%20d%27hydrog%C3%A8ne
