HYDROGEN PEROXIDE , 1 GALLON

Hydrogen peroxide, upon contact with heat, will usually decompose into water and oxygen (2H2O2 ==> 2H2O + O2). Hydrogen peroxide also decomposes, when in contact with salts such as iron, copper, manganese, nickel, or chromium. When in contact with some organic compounds, hydrogen peroxide will form certain peroxides or hydroperoxides, which will start polymerization reactions. Hydrogen peroxide also oxidizes certain substances in most reactions(4). A high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, though, can be explosive when in contact with metals, such as the ones named above, and organic compounds, such as ethers and acetals(9). Hydrogen peroxide can be dissolved in water and in alcohol
