How is strength of hydrogen peroxide expressed? Calculate the strength of 20 volume hydrogen peroxide in grams per litre.
Calculate the strength of 10 volume solution of hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes on heating as,
We know,
22400 mL of O2 at STP are produced from H2O2 = 68 g
10 ml of O2 at STP would be produced from H2O2 =
But 10 ml of oxygen at STP are produced from 1 ml of 10 volume of H2O2 solution.
Thus 1 ml of 10 volume at H2O2 solution contains = 0.03036 g H2O2.
1000 ml of 10 volume of H2O2 solution
would contain = 0 .03036 x 1000 = 30.36g H2O2
Strength of 10 volume H2O2 = 30.36g L-1
