Question

hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction inside rocket booster to provide necessary conditions for burning of rocket fuel.
what is the products obtain during this decomposition reaction?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H

2O

2. In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen–oxygen single bond). It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or "high-test peroxide", is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant in rocketry.[6] Its chemistry is dominated by the nature of its unstable peroxide bond.
