Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2O2. [1] It is a colourless liquid at room temperature with a bitter taste. Small amounts of gaseous hydrogen peroxide occur naturally in the air. It is unstable, decomposing readily to oxygen and water with release of heat. Although non-flammable, it is a powerful oxidising agent that can cause spontaneous combustion when it comes in contact with organic material. [1,2]
