Question
Why is hydrogen peroxide stored in wax lined bottles?
✓

Answer

Actually, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$, is highly reactive and it is stored in wax-lined glasses or in plastic bottles so that no light enters to it and no self decomposition takes place because when light is provided to the peroxide it decomposes itself to water and oxygen gas.
