Question

how hydrogen peroxide acts as bleaching agent?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent both in acidic and basic media. When added to a cloth, it breaks the chemical bonds of the chromophores (colour producing agents). ... Thus the bleaching action of H2O2 is due to the oxidation of colouring matter by nascent oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since Hydrogen Peroxide is highly reactive in nature, it is most commonly used as a bleaching agent. Other Bleaching agents such as Hypochlorite solution are also used (Industrial)…, but Hydrogen peroxide is more earth friendly.

Hydrogen peroxide works by breaking the chemical bonds of a chromophore (part of a molecule that has color). This changes the molecule so that it either has no color or else reflects color outside the visible spectrum.
