Does hydrogen peroxide need to be oxidized or reduced if you want it to form hydrogen gas?

The hydrogen must be reduced. This takes its oxidation number from +1 to 0. However, the oxygen may be either reduced as well (from -1 to -2) or oxidised (from -1 to 0).

Which species were oxidized or reduced in HCl?
chlorine was oxidized while oxygen was reduced to form hydrochloric acid.
What is Dakin reaction mechanism?
The Dakin oxidation is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. Overall, the carbonyl group is oxidized, and the hydrogen peroxide is reduced. The Dakin oxidation, which is closely related to the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, is not to be confused with the Dakin-West reaction, though both are named after Henry Drysdale Dakin
What molecule is oxidized and what kind of bond is formed when gaseous hydrogen burns in the presence of oxygen to form water?
hydrogen, polar
Does hydrogen peroxide come in powder form in a bottle?
No. Even pure hydrogen peroxide is a liquid. Pure H2O2 is not commercially available as it is extremely reactive, making it too dangerous for the general public.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygenexplain why this is a chemical reactionwhat are the reactants and products in the reaction?
The chemical reaction is caused because it is not possible to rearrange water and oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. This is taught in science.
Can phenol be oxidized?
Yes. Phenol can be oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to form ortho and para benzenediol with the by product being water. Chromic acid can also oxidize phenol into quinones.
Is nadh oxidized or reduced compared to nad plus?
NAD+ is the oxidized and NADH is the reduced form.
Which species were oxidized or reduced in HCl?
chlorine was oxidized while oxygen was reduced to form hydrochloric acid.
What is hydrogen peroxide solution?
an aqueous form of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 (aq)
Which form of DCPIP reduced or oxidized is higher in energy?
DCPIP oxidized is higher in energy
When elemental Lithium metal reacts with Elemental Bromine what is oxidized and what is reduced?
The lithium is oxidized an the bromine is reduced. In a chemical reaction involving a metal in elemental form, the metal will be oxidized.
Is hydrogen peroxide the same as peroxide?
Peroxide is an compound that can be a part of another chemical to form a molecule. Hydrogen peroxide is two hydrogen atoms attached to a peroxide molecule, forming hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide itself (O2) only exists as molecular oxygen when it is not attached to another chemical.
Does sunlight help form hydrogen peroxide in rainwater?
Sunlight will degrade any hydrogen peroxide that is in the water. This is why over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide is sold in brown bottles.

Is the element hydrogen and oxygen combine to form hydrogen peroxide a chemical change?
Yes it is.
How redox works in photography industry?
The film is oxidized / reduced by the chemicals to form the image.
Does hydrogen peroxide contain nitric acid?
No, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are two very different substances.
