WHY IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS KEPT IN COLOURED BOTTLES

Hydrogen peroxide is stored in coloured bottles because coloured bottles do not allow the light to enter the bottle so it prevents hydrogen peroxide from decomposing into water and oxygen.

Because it prevent the hydrogen peroxide from reacting with oxygen.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is very close to water (H2O). Hydrogen peroxide needs only a little energy to change to water. That could be from heat or even from light. Thats why you have to keep it in a cool place at all times, and thats why the bottle is NEVER clear. When light hits hydrogen peroxide it begins breaking down to water.

Hydrogen peroxide is a highly reactive metal that can react with light or heat to produce water .To prevent it's reaction with light and heat to make water it is stored in coloured thick bottles so that light doest'n pass through it & reaction doesn't occurs.

as because while coming in contact with air it soon undergoes a reaction and forms water and hydrogen

because if it is kept in transparent bottles , it may react with light and form some different compounds other than hydrogen peroxide.

Because hydrogen peroxide decomposes to H2O and O when it comes in direct contact with light. Coloured bottles stop this from happening.
fyi, the reaction take place as follows:
H2O2 light > H2O + O
i.e. hydrogen peroxide --> water + nausetic oxygen

H2 O2 s a highly reactive metal that can react with light or heat to produce water. To prevent it's reaction with light and heat to make water it is stored in coloured bottles so that light does'nt pass through it.

This is done in order to cut off light.Because hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen in presence of light.

it is kept in colour bottles because it may react with light .

Hydrogen peroxide is very reactive substance it react vigorously with humidity or water and also from light., coloured bottle act as an opaque source and do not allow light to inter into it and react with it.

It is a very reactive chemical substance. If hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with this, the chemical can transform into water or evaporate as oxygen gas. ... The chemicals are stored in brown bottles to avoid exposure to heat, humidity, and alkali metal ions.
