Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

High-concentration H₂O₂ (e.g., 80-90%) decomposes rapidly in the presence of a catalyst to produce superheated steam and oxygen: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂ + heat. This generates high-pressure gas used for propulsion (monopropellant) or as oxidizer in bipropellant systems. It is not a fuel; it provides oxygen for combustion. It must be handled carefully due to instability.
