By using the catalyst called as manganese dioxide we can increase the speed of decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide .

Hydrogen peroxide is normally used for dressing the wounds and cuts .

Decomposition of H2O2 can be done easily by heating . But by adding catalyst we can decompose it without heating .


Chemical Equation :-

MnO2.

2H2O2------------------ > 2H2O + O2

ENDS PRODUCTS ARE :- Water and Oxygen .

Explanation:

(i) The chemical reaction in which two or more

products are formed from a single reactant

is called decomposition reaction. Hydrogen

peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.

2H2

O2(l)

→ 2H2

O (l) + O2

Hydrogen Oxygen

peroxide

Water

(ii) The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into

water and oxygen takes place slowly at room

temperature. However, the rate of this chemical

reaction can be increased on adding manganese

dioxide (MnO2

) powder in it, here manganese

dioxide acts as a catalyst.
