- Substance
Sodium peroxide appears as a yellow-white granular solid that is hygroscopic in nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. It has a melting point of approximately 460 °C and decomposes upon heating, releasing oxygen. The compound is highly soluble in water, where it reacts vigorously, producing sodium hydroxide and oxygen. Its density is about 2.0 g/cm³, and it has a strong oxidizing odor, characteristic of peroxides. The compound is also known to have a flash point of 100 °C, indicating its potential hazards when exposed to heat or flame.
