Sample Problem

  Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used to disinfect contact lenses:

H2O2(aq) ------> H2O(l) + O2(g)

Calculate the volume, in mL of O2(g) at 22oC and 752 torr that could be liberated from 10.0 mL of a water solution containing 3.00% hydrogen peroxide by mass. The density of the peroxide solutions is 1.01 g/mL.
