Detailed Solution

20 volume H2O2 solution means that 1 L of H2O2 forms 20 L of oxygen. 

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is:

2H2O22H2O+O2

Above reaction states that 68 g of hydrogen peroxide forms 22.4 L or one mole of oxygen gas. Mass of hydrogen peroxide required to produce 20 L of oxygen gas is calculated as:

22.4 L of oxygen gas=68 g of hydrogen peroxide20 L of oxygen gas=20 L of oxygen gas×68 g of hydrogen peroxide22.4 L of oxygen gas =60.7 g of H2O2

One liter or 1000 mL (or 1000 g) has 60.7 g of hydrogen peroxide. Percentage strength of hydrogen peroxide in the given solution is calculated as:

Percentage strength=Mass of hydrogen peroxidetotal mass of compound×1000 =60.7 g1000 g×100 =6%
