Question

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes in to water and oxygen. The uncatalyzed reaction has activation energy of 86 k)/mole.The E, values in the presence of acetamilide is 112 kJ/mole and in the presence of MnO, it is 49 kJ/mole. What conclusion can you draw from the above observations?

Answer 1

If activation energy is slow the reaction will fast . so in presence of MnO the reaction will fast as compare to acetamilide .
