The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is given by the equation:
2H2O2 —> 2H2O + O2
The equation gives the following important information:
(i) Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen.
(ii) Two molecules of hydrogen peroxide when decomposed, form two molecules of water and one molecule of oxygen.
(iii) 68 gm of hydrogen peroxide when decomposed, yield 36 gm of water and 32 gm of oxygen
