Additional information

Well-documented experimental data on the dissociation of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution is not available. The available literature indicate that hydrogen peroxide is a weak inorganic acid with a dissociation constant between 2.24 and 2.4E-12 at 25 °C, which corresponds to a value for pKa ranging from 11.62 to 11.65.
