Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid that is stored in dark-colored bottles in a cool location. Which of these is the MOST likely reason for storing hydrogen peroxide in
this way?
A. Hydrogen peroxide forms crystals when warmed.
B. Exposure to light allows bacteria to grow in hydrogen peroxide.
C. Exposure to light promotes the formation of hydrogen gas (H2) instead of oxygen gas.
D. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down quickly when exposed to light.
