[10m] Name this compound, a pale blue liquid commonly used as a disinfectant. This compound is often stored as a complex with urea, as it readily decomposes into water and oxygen.
ANSWER: hydrogen peroxide [accept H2O2 (“H-2-O-2”); prompt on peroxide]
[10h] Hydrogen peroxide is mixed with sulfuric acid to form this solution, which is used to remove organic compounds from substrates.
ANSWER: piranha solution
