Hydrogen peroxide, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$, has a normal boiling point of $150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Based on the data given in Figure 11.25 , would you expect hydrogen peroxide to have a higher or lower vapor pressure than water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
Hydrogen peroxide $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)$ is a syrupy liquid with a relatively low vapor pressure and a normal boiling point of $152.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . \mathrm{Ra}-$ tionalize the differences of these physical properties from those of water.
