Why is Hydrogen peroxide stored in coloured bottles?

Q. An old bottle of store-brand hydrogen peroxide needs to be analyzed using a redox titration to determine the amount of hydrogen peroxide remaining.
Select the best reagent with correct justification for this task.

Q. Thermodynamically, hydrogen peroxide is unstable as shown by the following equation:

H_{2} O_{2 (l)} \to H_{2} O_{(l)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2 (g)}

Δ_{r} G^{o} = - 122.6 k J / m o l

As the reaction from left to right is accompanied by a decrease in free energy, it is a spontaneous process. However, its decomposition at

25^{o} C

in the absence of catalysts is slow. The catalysts which accelerate decomposition are Pt, Ag, cobalt, iron, copper, manganese dioxide and light. Concentrated

H_{2} O_{2}

solution can result into uncontrolled decompositions leading to explosion.

H_{2} O_{2}

thus stored in colored wax-lined bottles (as rough glass surfaces) also causes its decomposition. A few stabilizers such as acids acetanilide, pyrophosphates, and stannates are added to slow down the decomposition of
