Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) when decomposes forms water and oxygen in a reaction as shown below


H_2O_2 \rightarrow H_2O + O_2

However, this reaction is not completely balanced as number of oxygen atoms on reactant and product sides are not same

So, the complete balance equation looks like


2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2
