When hydrogen peroxide is diluted with water, it undergoes partial ionization and forms hydronium ions \left(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^+\right) due to its acidic nature. However, as the dilution increases, the concentration of hydronium ions decreases, eventually resulting in a neutral solution. Therefore, the diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide becomes neutral rather than acidic.
