`H_(2)O_(2)` can be produced by the Ammonium hydrogen sulphate. Reactions occuring in electrolytic cell.
`NH_(4)HSO_(4) rarr NH_(4)^(+) +H^(+) +SO_(4)^(2-)`
`2SO_(4)^(2-) rarr S_(2)O_(8)^(2-) +2e^(-)` (Anode)
`2H^(+) +2e^(-) rarr H_(2)` (cathode)
`(NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8) +2H_(2)O rarr 2NH_(4)HSO_(4) +H_(2)O_(2)`
