===Aqueous solutions=== In [[aqueous solution]]s, hydrogen peroxide forms a [[eutectic]] mixture, exhibiting [[freezing-point depression]] down as low as −56 °C; pure water has a freezing point of 0 °C and pure hydrogen peroxide of −0.43 °C. The boiling point of the same mixtures is also depressed in relation with the mean of both boiling points (125.1 °C). It occurs at 114 °C. This boiling point is 14 °C greater than that of pure water and 36.2 °C less than that of pure hydrogen peroxide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.h2o2.com/intro/FMC_MSDS_40_to_60.pdf|title=Hydrogen Peroxide Technical Library|access-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091229052623/https://www.h2o2.com/intro/FMC_MSDS_40_to_60.pdf|archive-date=29 December 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> <li style="display: inline-table; vertical-align:top;> [[File:Phase diagram hydrogen peroxide water.svg|class=skin-invert-image|423px|thumb|[[Phase diagram]] of {{chem2|H2O2}} and water: Area above blue line is liquid.

For consumers, it is usually available from pharmacies at 3 and 6 [[wt%]] concentrations. The concentrations are sometimes described in terms of the volume of oxygen gas generated; one milliliter of a 20-volume solution generates twenty milliliters of oxygen gas when completely decomposed. For laboratory use, 30 wt% solutions are most common. Commercial grades from 70% to 98% are also available, but due to the potential of solutions of more than 68% hydrogen peroxide to be converted entirely to steam and oxygen (with the temperature of the steam increasing as the concentration increases above 68%) these grades are potentially far more hazardous and require special care in dedicated storage areas. Buyers must typically allow inspection by commercial manufacturers.
