Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid compound and does not have volumes in the same way that gases or solids do. It is typically sold and measured by its concentration in percentages, such as 3% or 6% hydrogen peroxide.
To make a 5 volume developer, you would mix equal parts of 10 volume developer (3% hydrogen peroxide) and distilled water. This will dilute the concentration of hydrogen peroxide to achieve a 5 volume strength (1.5% hydrogen peroxide).
Volume is the amount of oxygen that is contained in a given amount of peroxide. For example, 3% hydrogen peroxide is V10 or 10 volume, because it will release 10 times it's volume in oxygen. One pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide will release 10 pints of oxygen as it breaks down. Gee, now there is something to think about. Of course, V20 will release twice as much oxygen, 20 times its volume.
To increase the volume of a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, you can evaporate some of the water in the original solution to make it more concentrated. This can be done by heating the solution in a controlled manner until the desired concentration is achieved. Be cautious when handling concentrated hydrogen peroxide as it is a strong oxidizing agent and can be hazardous.
The normality strength of 10 volume hydrogen peroxide is approximately 0.3 N. This means that one liter of the solution contains 0.3 moles of hydrogen peroxide. It is important to handle this chemical with caution due to its oxidizing properties.
The strength of a solution may be described as a percentage or volume, where 1% hydrogen peroxide releases 3.3 volumes of oxygen during decomposition.Thus, a 3% solution is equivalent to 10 volume and a 6% solution to 20 volume, etc. Answer taken from Wikipedia 19/01/2009
This means that for every volume of hydrogen peroxide used, 20 volumes of oxygen will be produced. For example, if 1 ml of hydrogen peroxide is used/decomposes, 20 ml of oxygen will be formed.

To dilute 20 volume hydrogen peroxide to make a 3% solution, mix 1 part of 20 volume hydrogen peroxide with about 6 parts water. This will result in a 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Remember to handle hydrogen peroxide carefully and wear appropriate protective gear.
Yes
To increase the volume of a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, you can evaporate some of the water in the original solution to make it more concentrated. This can be done by heating the solution in a controlled manner until the desired concentration is achieved. Be cautious when handling concentrated hydrogen peroxide as it is a strong oxidizing agent and can be hazardous.
It means that the concentration of the peroxide is such that for every 1mL of hydrogen peroxide solution, 100mL of oxygen will be produced if fully reduced, catalyzed, exposed to light, heated or decomposed in any manner to the fullest extent. The fullest extent means the end point where every molecule of hydrogen peroxide releases one oxygen atom, and is converted into water.
Its not the volume as in the amount, Its the volume as in the percentage 10vol would be less than 40vol. higher the vol the lighter and faster it lightens..remember faster is not always better..damage damage damage........
20 volume peroxide comes from a beauty supply store. Try Sally's.
