Description

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colorless in a dilute solution, slightly more viscous than water.

It is a weak acid.

It has strong oxidizingproperties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that has found use as a disinfectant, as an oxidizer, and in rocketry (particularly in high concentrations as high-test peroxide (HTP) as a monopropellant), and in bipropellant systems.
