What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide with ammonia?

The asker added, "I am looking to destroy SO2 accumulation in a gas system". In my opinion, you'd be likely to get a reaction between the ammonia (NH3) and the peroxide (H2O2). I'm not sure whether the sulfur dioxide (SO2) would be preferentially affected by the peroxide, but if it were, you'd likely get sulfur trioxide (SO3), which dissolves in H2O to produce H2SO4 -- sulfuric acid. As for a reaction between the peroxide and the ammonia -- based on limited experience, I believe there are several possibilities, and that the products you got would be dependent upon temperatures.


What is the reaction of copper and ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide?

In the presence of ammonia and copper, hydrogen peroxide will decompose, liberating oxygen gas. The oxygen gas dissolves in the solution and oxidizes copper to copper (2+). Then the ammonia reacts with the Cu2+ forming a complex with deep blue color.
