1 part of hydrogen peroxide out of 30% hydrogenperoxide bottle add 10 parts of distilled water
Hydrogen peroxide can be very useful and good to keep around the house. It can be bought at many general store, dollar stores, and pharmacies.
Since the dissociation constant for hydrogen peroxide is 2.4 x 10^-12 (very very small) if only a 3% concentration were to be mixed with water the pH would be negligible. However the main reason Hydrogen peroxide stings when you spill or pour it on a cut to disinfect it is because of its fairly high reactivity.
There is no mixture using hydrogen peroxide to clean dark urine stains on a hardwood floor. However, you can dip a rag into hydrogen peroxide and allow it to sit on the stain for about 10 minutes.
Interesting question. Balanced equation. H2 + O2 >> H2O2 ( let's find moles and limiting reactant ) 10 O2 molecules (1 mole/6.022 X 10 ^23) = 1.66 X 10^-23 moles O2 same for H2, so one to one and reaction is driven by above moles, but use O2 for convenience. actually, as all is one to one, you get back 10 molecules H2O2 anyway 1.66 X 10^-23 X 6.022 X 10^23 = 9.99, or 10 molecules of H2O2
Volume is the amount of oxygen that is contained in a given amount of peroxide. For example, 3% hydrogen peroxide is V10 or 10 volume, because it will release 10 times it's volume in oxygen. One pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide will release 10 pints of oxygen as it breaks down. Gee, now there is something to think about. Of course, V20 will release twice as much oxygen, 20 times its volume.

Results should be seen in 15 to 20 minutes.Get in touch with your veterinarian before you induce vomiting in your dog, to see if it is necessary and safe. Your vet will determine how much to dilute the peroxide and the size of the dose.Be sure you are using three percent peroxide, not the stronger peroxide used for bleaching hair.
The % of hydrogen is superfluous information 1.5 lb H2O2 (454 grams/1 lb)(1 mole H2O2/34.016 grams)(2 mole H/1 mole H2O2)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole H) = 2.4 X 10^25 atoms of hydrogen
The strength of a solution may be described as a percentage or volume, where 1% hydrogen peroxide releases 3.3 volumes of oxygen during decomposition.Thus, a 3% solution is equivalent to 10 volume and a 6% solution to 20 volume, etc. Answer taken from Wikipedia 19/01/2009
If you want to sanitize a surface, the bleach solution must be 10:1. 10 parts water to one part bleach. Any higher concentrations may actually decrease the sanitizing effects.A much safer alternative is simple hydrogen peroxide! "Hydrogen peroxide is the only germicidal agent composed only of water and oxygen. Like ozone, it kills disease organisms by oxidation! Hydrogen peroxide is considered the world's safest all natural effective surface sanitizer. It kills microorganisms by oxidizing them, which can be best described as a controlled burning process. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water."See related links to learn about the many uses of peroxide for your home:
