[Henry's law constant measurement for hydrogen peroxide using oxidative decoloration of BPR]

The temperature-dependent Henry's Law Constant for hydrogen peroxide was measured. The gas phase of hydrogen peroxide from the vapor saturator collected in a cryogenic trap was analyzed by a spectrophotometric determination, based on the oxidative decoloration of BPR (bromopryogallol red) reaction with hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of hemin. At 10 degrees C - 35 degrees C, the relationship between Henry's Law constant K(H) (mol x L(-1) x atm(-1)) of hydrogen peroxide and temperature T (K) can be expressed as ln K(H) = a/T - b, where a = 7 269+/-22, and b = 13.26+/-0.08. The standard heat of hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution is 60.43+/-0.18 kJ x K(-1) x mol(-1).
