In high concentrations it can be.
The peroxide ion (O22-) is a base. Hydrogen peroxide is mildly acidic.
Peroxide is a noun.
Peroxide is not an element but it is an ion
peroxide = O2-2
Peroxide Value is one of the most widely used tests for oxidative rancidity in oils and fats, peroxide value is a measure of the concentration of peroxides and hydroperoxides formed in the initial stages of lipid oxidation. Milliequivalents of peroxide per kg of fat are measured by titration with iodide ion. Peroxide values are not static and care must be taken in handling and testing samples. It is difficult to provide a specific guideline relating peroxide value to rancidity. High peroxide values are a definite indication of a rancid fat, but moderate values may be the result of depletion of peroxides after reaching high concentrations.
In high concentrations it can be.
Soybean oil or any other edible oil(cooking oil) with a peroxide value of 4.62 is acceptable for human consumption. Peroxide value above 5 is not acceptable for human consumption.
A good value for fresh oils is under or equal to 10 millimole/kg of peroxide.

Peroxide is used to determine the acid value of vegetable oil using primary standard. Oils with high degree of unsaturation are most susceptible to autoxidation.
The acetone and hydrogen peroxide would react with each other to make the high explosive acetone peroxide. An acid such as hydrochloric is commonly used in the synthesis of acetone peroxide, which speeds up the formation if it.
scale pH <--- HUH? hehe
KI + CH3COOH --> HI + CH3COO-K+ ROOH + 2HI --> ROH + H2O + I2 TITRATION WITH SODIUM THIOSULPHATE TO DERIVE THE PEROXIDE VALUE 2NA2S2O3 + I2 (PURPLE) --> NA2S4O6 + NaI (COLOURLESS)
Higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide may be considered hazardous and are typically accompanied by a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). In high concentrations, hydrogen peroxide is an aggressive oxidizer and will corrode many materials, including human skin. In the presence of a reducing agent, high concentrations of H2O2 will react violently.
