Sodium Peroxide Lab Grade

Sodium Peroxide, also known as Disodium Peroxide, Solozone, Sodium Super Oxide, Disodium Dioxide, and Natrium Peroxydatum, has the chemical formula Na₂O₂. It appears as white to yellowish-white granular powder with no odor and salty taste. It can readily absorb moisture and Carbon Dioxide from air and turn yellow. It is freely soluble in Water at ambient conditions forming Hydrogen Peroxide and Sodium Hydroxide. On a lab scale, it is prepared by heating Sodium metal in an Aluminum vessel with a current of purified air. Lab grade chemicals possess reasonable purity but do not comply with any official standard for quality or purity like the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, or the FCC Grade. The Lab Grade is also known as Laboratory Reagent (LR) and Chemically Pure (CP). Lab Alley’s Sodium Peroxide, Lab Grade is available for sale online at laballey.com. It is highly recommended for educational institutes and research labs.

Sodium peroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2O2. This yellowish solid is the product of sodium ignited in excess oxygen. It is a strong base. This metal peroxide exists in several hydrates and peroxyhydrates including Na2O2·2H2O2·4H2O, Na2O2·2H2O, Na2O2·2H2O2, and Na2O2·8H2O. The octahydrate, which is simple to prepare, is white, in contrast to the anhydrous material.

Sodium peroxide hydrolyzes to give sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide according to the reaction

Na2O2 + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2O2

Sodium peroxide was used to bleach wood pulp for the production of paper and textiles. Presently it is mainly used for specialized laboratory operations, e.g., the extraction of minerals from various ores. Sodium peroxide may go by the commercial names of Solozone and Flocool. In chemistry preparations, sodium peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent. It is also used as an oxygen source by reacting it with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sodium carbonate:

2 Na2O2 + 2 CO2 → 2 Na2CO3 + O2

It is thus particularly useful in scuba gear, submarines, etc. Lithium peroxide has similar uses. Read more here.
