Hey Friend....Good question

H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent both in acidic and basic media.

When added to a cloth, it breaks the chemical bonds of the chromophores (colour producing agents). Hence, the visible light is not absorbed and the cloth gets whitened.

Hope u understood....

Plz mark it BRAINLIEST....!!!!
