Specification :
Properties:
Density, solid, 1.71 grams per cc; density, liquid, 1450 grams per cc at 20oc; viscosity, liquid, 1.245 centipoises; surface tension, 80.4 dynes per cm at 20oc; f.p., -0, 41oC; b.p. 150.2oc. Soluble in water and alcohol. Solutions: Pure hydrogen peroxide solutions, completely free from contamination, are highly stable; a low percentage of an inhibitor such as acetanilide or sodium stannate, is usually added to counteract the catalytic effect of traces of impurities, such as iron, copper, and other heavy metals.
