Answer 1

Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid in aqueous solution.

This means that if one considers the reaction

H2O2  -->  H+   + OOH-

and the equilibrium constant

Khp  =  [H+][OOH-]/[H2O2]

and compares it with the equilibrium constant for water and the reaction

H2O  -->  H+  + OH-

Kw = [H+][[OH-]/[H2O]

Then  Khp>>  Kw
