This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Hydrogen peroxide is produced by acidifying barium peroxide and eliminating surplus water by evaporation under low pressure. Water is used to extract it, then distillation under lower pressure concentrates it to around 30% (by mass). Careful distillation under low pressure can increase the concentration to 85%. To achieve pure H2O2, the residual water can be frozen out.

Uses of H2O2:
(i) As an antiseptic it is sold in the market as perhydrol.
(ii) It is used to manufacture chemicals like sodium perborate and per - carbonate. It is employed in the industries as a bleachin
