    Comparison of physical properties of water
    Just a quick general question:

    Q. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a syrupy liquid with a relatively low vapour pressure and a normal boiling point of 152.2 degrees. Explain the differences in these physical properties compared to water.

    Thanks

    1. What is the boiling point of water? Is it higher or lower than the boiling point of hydrogen peroxide? If it's lower, what might that suggest about the properties of water compared to hydrogen peroxide?
    2. Is water a "syrupy liquid"? If so, it's a similarity. If not, it's a difference. Explain the consistency of water.
