Why is hydrated barium peroxide used in the preparation of hydrogen peroxide instead of anhydrous barium peroxide?
Phosphoric acid is preferred over sulphuric acid in preparing hydrogen peroxide from peroxides. Why?
Hydrogen peroxide acts both as an oxidising agent as well as a reducing agent in alkaline solution towards certain first row transition metal ions. Illustrate both these properties of $H_2O_2$ using chemical equations.
