Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, has a structure that is closely related to that of water. The central oxygen-oxygen bond is quite weak, making hydrogen peroxide much more chemically reactive than water, it is frequently sized as an antiseptic since it can easily damage the external molecular structure of, for example, bacteria. If you had 2 moles of pure hydrogen peroxide (pure hydrogen peroxide is actually very difficult to obtain, but let’s just pretend you can do this for now), what weight of hydrogen peroxide would this be (to 1 decimal place)? The average atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.0079 g/mol The average atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol Calculate your answer to 1 decimal place
