Scientists have found that a chemical in the Earth’s atmosphere that reacts very quickly lasts much longer than they had thought before. In fact, they believe that millions of tons of the chemical can stay in the air for several hours.
This chemical in the Earth’s atmosphere is very reactive, which may worry us for a bit.
Which chemicals are we talking about?
There are chemicals in Earth’s atmosphere that react very quickly. Hydrotrioxides are the chemicals in question. One hydrogen atom and three oxygen atoms make up the chemical. The effects on human health and the climate of Earth may be the most worrying thing about how long these super-reactive chemicals stay in Earth’s atmosphere.
Before, people thought that hydrotrioxides only last for a short time. Now, though, a new study shows that they can stay in Earth’s atmosphere for at least 20 minutes and maybe even longer. Since it is the result of common chemical reactions, it is almost always being made in new amounts.
Also, this chemical found in the Earth’s atmosphere reacts very quickly with other compounds. Because there are more oxygen atoms in aqueous oxides, they can be very flammable. Because they can catch fire, other peroxides have been used as rocket fuel.
This isn’t a new chemical reaction
This is not a new chemical reaction, which is important to keep in mind. The study, which was written up by the researchers and published in the journal Sciences, found out for the first time that these chemicals exist in the air. But now that we know this super-reactive chemical is in the Earth’s atmosphere, some scientists are thinking about our health and how it can affect it.
Hydrotrioxides are thought to be very reactive for a reason. Hydrotrioxides, on the other hand, can react with almost any other chemical. Hydroxides are also made in almost all chemical reactions. Because of this, scientists think that at least 11 million tons of water oxides are made in the air every year.
