Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) is a yellowish-white, inorganic compound that is a powerful oxidizer. It is produced industrially by reacting sodium metal with oxygen gas under controlled conditions. It readily reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), releasing heat in the process. Sodium peroxide is used in various applications, including bleaching agents, oxidizing agents in chemical reactions, and for the generation of oxygen in emergency breathing apparatus. Its high reactivity and oxidizing power make it an important compound in various industrial processes, but also pose a significant safety hazard. It is studied extensively due to its applications in chemical synthesis, environmental remediation, and safety considerations.'
