SUMMARY
To prepare a 100 mL solution of 0.1 M hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one must calculate the number of moles required, which is 0.01 moles. This is derived from the formula: moles = volume (mL) × molarity (M) / 1000. The mass of hydrogen peroxide needed is 0.34 grams, calculated using the molar mass of H2O2, which is 34 g/mol. However, the preparation method may vary depending on the concentration of the commercially available hydrogen peroxide solution.
