Best Answer

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.
