Why does hydrogen peroxide usually come in dark colored bottles?

Mostly because it is sensitive to temperature changes and light, and will decompose back to water & oxygen if it is exposed too too high of temperatures or too much light. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, and will readily switch back to H2O and O2, both much more stable molecules.

Does hydrogen peroxide blow up in water?
No. Hydrogen peroxide is usually dissolved in water to make it more stable. The peroxide you buy at the pharmacy is 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. Pure hydrogen peroxide, which is a dangerously strong oxidizer, can explosively decompose into water and oxygen.
Where can find hydrogen peroxide at home?
Typically 3% hydrogen peroxide can be found in the health and beauty department of most major retailers and drug stores. Food grade is also available, but is usually only found in health food stores as an alternative to chlorine bleach for sanitizing. Lastly, sodium percarbonate, aka oxygen bleach releases hydrogen peroxide and soda ash when mixed with water. Most brands have fillers, so use caution depending on the intended use. Hydrogen peroxide is a fairly unstable molecule and breaks down in light (this is why it's sold in dark brown bottles).
Is hydrogen oxide a gas?
No Hydrogen Oxide is usually written H2O2 and is called hydrogen peroxide and is an unstable liquid used to cleanse wounds. Dihydrogen oxide is H2O and is usually called water.
Is hydro peroxide the same as hydrogen peroxide?
No, hydrogen peroxide is two hydroxyl groups (OH) with bounded oxygens. Hydroperoxide is a deprotonated version (one of the OH's is an O- instead). However they usually exist together as the deprotonation occurs easily in the presence of water.
When the interaction between solid potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide happen what percentage posed by oxygen gas from the product mixture of water vapor and oxygen?
When sodium potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide interact 30% of oxygen gas is usually produced from the mixture.

What is the formula for benzoyl peroxide?
it has 2 benzene rings usually synthesized in the lab from benzoyl chloride and hydrogen peroxide
How can you get blood out of your timberland boots?
Wipe the blood off with hydrogen peroxide, then clean the peroxide off with water after you get the blood out. Peroxide will usually get blood out of most fabrics.

Composition of Hydrogen Peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide is a clear colorless liquid that is infinitely soluble in water. Agricultural pesticide products usually contain no more than 35% hydrogen peroxide, which is then usually diluted to 1% or less when applied as a spray or a liquid. In its more concentrated form, hydrogen peroxide is extremely corrosive and irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membrane, and can be explosive if not stored under proper conditions.
Is hydrogen oxide a gas?
No Hydrogen Oxide is usually written H2O2 and is called hydrogen peroxide and is an unstable liquid used to cleanse wounds. Dihydrogen oxide is H2O and is usually called water.
Can hydrogen peroxide kill ringworm?
H2O2 does not kill ringworm because the ringworm are usually a fungus infection and it is too deep in the epidermis to really penetrate the fungus. Thus Hydrogen Peroxide is not supposed to be used

Are old Clorox bottles collectible?
Old Clorox bottles are collectable items. Many of them are on sale on eBay. These bottles are glass and are typically colored amber. They usually sell for under $20.
Is agua oxinada compound?
It is Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2, usually it is used to remove dirt and further infection to cuts.

What is peroxide effect?
Peroxide is a Chemical Compound; which is created by two oxygen atoms bonding together, by a single bond. Hydrogen Peroxide is most commonly thought of when a person hears peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer. It is the simplest form of peroxide.
