Abstract

The paper presents experimental data and an analysis of literature data on hydrogen peroxide forms in concentrated solutions of sulfuric acid, H2O2(aq), H3O +2 (aq), and HSO 5 (aq). The thermodynamic constants of the parallel equilibria

$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {H_2 O_2 (aq) + H_3 O^ + (aq) \Leftrightarrow H_3 O_2^ + (aq) + H_2 O (K_1 (298) = 8 \times 10^{ - 4} ),} \\ {H_2 O_2 (aq) + HSO_4^ - (aq) \Leftrightarrow HSO_5^ - (aq) + H_2 O (K_2 (298) = 1.2 \times 10^{ - 2} )} \\ \end{array} $$

were determined. The activity coefficients of H2O2 and Henry constants for solutions of H2O2 in sulfuric acid were calculated.
