Q. What do you mean by "10 volume of H2O2 solution , 15 volume of H2O2 solution and 50 volume of H2O2 solution " ? Pleaase answer with full explanation and examples if possible.
The strength of H2O2 is defined by two ways:
1.) Percentage strength : This tells about the percentage of pure hydrogen peroxide in the solution. Like, 3% H2O2 means, 3mL of pure hydrogen peroxide is present in 100 mL of solution.
2.) Volume strength : This tells about the release of oxygen by 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide solution. Like, 10 volume of H2O2 means, 1 mL of this solution will release 10 mL of oxygen. 15 volume of H2O2 means 1 mL of this solution will release 15 mL of oxygen and so on.
