}} .]] Benzoyl peroxide () is a chemical in the organic peroxide family. It consists of two benzoyl groups (benzaldehyde with the H of aldehyde removed) joined by a peroxide group. Acceptable condensed structural formulae would include C₆H₅-COO-OOC-C₆H₅, PhCO-O-O-COPh, and (PhCO)₂O₂. It is often abbreviated Bz₂O₂. Read more...

experimental physchem properties

Melting Point: ca. 105 C (decomposes)

The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to liquid. See also: Melting Point

Boiling Point: Decomposes explosively

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid. See also: Boiling Point

Flash Point: 176F

The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. See also: Flash Point

Flash Point: 41 C

The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. See also: Flash Point
