H2O2 in acid and basic solutions (Le Chatelier's principle)

[Henrique C. S. Junior]

How could one explain the difference in H₂O₂ stability in acid and basic solutions using Le Chatelier's principle?

H₂O₂ + 2H₃O⁺ --> 4H₂O

H₂O₂ + 2HO^- --> 2H₂O + O₂

I know what you're asking, but not sure if my explanation will make sense. I've discovered a website that offers real life examples using Le Chatelier's Principle. Would you like for me to post it here for you?

Please, you can post the link.
