Why does hydrogen peroxide hiss when it is left sealed for a long time and then opened?

Over time, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes into water (H2O) and pure oxygen (O2) according to the decomposition reaction equation 2H2O2(aq) --> 2H2O(l) + O2(g). The swell in the bottle and the hiss when you open it are the oxygen gas formed.

How does pressure and temperature affect the solubility of a solid in a liquid?
Air pressure does affect the solubility of a gas in a liquid. The higher the pressure above a liquid, the more gas that can be dissolved in that liquid, to a limit of course. The best example of this is carbonated beverages such as club soda, Coka Cola, etc. The carbon dioxide gas is bubbled into the liquid coke under pressure. As long as the pressure above the liquid is maintained, most of the gas will remain in solution. When the cap is screwed off (or pressure is released in some other manner) the gas begins to escape hence the hiss when a Coke is opened.
