Hydrogen peroxide decomposes through a thermodynamically favourable reaction:
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
The rate of this reaction increases with temperature and depends on factors like its concentration, pH and the prescence of a catalyst. Thus, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide can decompose when stored under unfavourable conditions.
The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.
No, hydrogen peroxide refers to the chemical compound H2O2, which is a colorless liquid. Hydrogen peroxide solution is a diluted form of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, commonly found in concentrations of 3% or 0.5%.
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
Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 For more information see related link.
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.
3 H2O2 means that the solution contains 3 hydrogen peroxide by volume. This indicates the concentration or strength of the hydrogen peroxide in the solution.
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.

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).
Hydrogen peroxide is a teeth whitener, google "hydrogen peroxide teeth."
The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.
Hydrogen peroxide bottle caps are typically made of polypropylene, a durable and chemical-resistant plastic. This material is commonly used for packaging medical supplies and liquids due to its strength and ability to prevent contamination.
Water is added to decrease the Conc^ or the water is evaporated of to increase the Conc^
