Q.

The strength of H2O2 is expressed in several ways like molarity, normality, % (w/V), volume strength, etc. The strength of “10 V” means 1 volume of H2O2 on decomposition gives 10volumes of oxygen at 1atm and 273K or 1 litre of H2O2 gives 10 litre of O2 at 1 atm and 273K. The decomposition of H2O2 is shown as under: 
H2O2(aq) H2O(l)+12O2(g)   
H2O2 can acts as oxidising as well as reducing agent. At oxidizing agent H2O2 is converted into H2O and as reducing agent H2O2 is converted into O2. For both cases its n factor is 2.
 Normality of H2O2 solution =2× Molarity of H2O2 solution
