Useful:

• Chemical Classes: Metals -> Peroxides, Metal
• Canonical SMILES: [O-][O-].[Na+].[Na+]
• Inhalation Risk: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance is very corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation may cause lung oedema.
• Description: Sodium peroxide has a molecular formula of Na2O2 and is an inorganic peroxide salt. It is a yellowish-white powder that turns yellow when heated. Sodium peroxide absorbs water and carbon dioxide from the air and is soluble in cold water. It is a strong oxidizing agent, is corrosive and can cause burns to the eyes and skin, and is also toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Sodium peroxide is water reactive and a dangerous fire and explosion risk in contact with water, alcohol, or acids. Sodium peroxide forms self-igniting mixtures with powdered metals and organic materials. It is incompatible with ethyl or methyl alcohol, glacial acetic acid, carbon disulfide, glycerin, ethylene glycol, and ethyl acetate. The four-digit UN identification number is 1504. The NFPA 704 designation is health 3, flammability 0, and reactivity 1. The 704 diamond has the prefix “oxy” in the white space at the bottom. It is used as bleach and as an oxygen-generating material for diving bells and submarines.
• Uses: Bleaching animal and vegetable fibers, feathers, bones, ivory, wood, wax, sponges, coral; rendering air charged with CO2 respirable as in torpedo boats, submarines, diving bells, etc.; purifying air in sick rooms; dyeing and printing textiles; chemical analysis. General oxidizing agent. As an oxidizing agent, a bleaching agent, deodorant, pharmaceuticals and dyes, and as an analytical reagent.Sodium peroxide acts as a bleaching agent in laundry and wood pulp. It finds application in the extraction of minerals from various ores. It acts as an oxidizing agent as well as an oxygen source by reacting with carbon dioxide. Furthermore, it is used as a deodorant and an analytical reagent. It is also useful in scuba gear and in submarines. Sodium peroxide historically was used to bleach wood pulp for the production of paper and textiles. It is mainly used for specialized laboratory operations, for example, the extraction of minerals from various ores. Sodium peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent and is used as an oxygen source by reacting with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sodium carbonate; it is thus particularly useful in scuba gear, submarines, and so on.
