* Pure Hydrogen Peroxide (100%):
* At 20°C (68°F), the density of pure hydrogen peroxide is approximately 1.45 g/cm³. This is slightly denser than water.
* Commercial Hydrogen Peroxide (3% to 35%):
* The density of commercial hydrogen peroxide solutions will be less than 1.45 g/cm³ and will vary depending on the concentration. For example, a 3% solution will have a density closer to that of water.
* Temperature Effect:
* Density decreases as temperature increases. So, a solution of hydrogen peroxide will be slightly less dense at higher temperatures.
To find the exact density of a specific solution:
1. Know the concentration: You'll need to know the percentage of hydrogen peroxide in the solution.
2. Use a density table or calculator: There are online tables and calculators that provide the density of hydrogen peroxide solutions at different concentrations and temperatures.
Important Note: Always handle hydrogen peroxide with care. It is a strong oxidizer and can cause skin irritation and burns.
