Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen peroxide is indeed used as a propellant in rocketry due to its ability to rapidly decompose into water and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst, providing thrust. It is also used in hair bleaching processes to remove color. The other statements contain inaccuracies: hydrogen peroxide should not be ingested, water and hydrogen peroxide have different stability profiles with hydrogen peroxide being less stable, water does not react with skin in a harmful way, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is larger than water (H2O) due to the extra oxygen atom.
