Answer:
In the presence of Cu(II) catalyst,
hydrogen peroxide oxidises hydrazine \[(N{{H}_{2}}-N{{H}_{2}})\] to nitrogen.
The reaction is highly exothermic and is accompanied by large increase in
volume. Therefore, the mixture provides an upward thrust and is used as a
rocket fuel.
\[N{{H}_{2}}-N{{H}_{2}}\,(l)\,+2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}(l)\]\[\xrightarrow[Heat]{Cu(II)}\,{{N}_{2}}(g)+4{{H}_{2}}O(g)+\text{heat}\,\]
