The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is spontaneous but some catalysts increase the speed of reaction.
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2Catalyzing this reaction. The breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
Catalase breaks down toxic hydrogen peroxide in living organisms (in both plants and animals) into water and oxygen. 2H2O2 (reaction of catalase) produces 2H2O + O2
exothermic

2H2O2(g) 2H2O(g) + O2(g)
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is spontaneous but some catalysts increase the speed of reaction.
The reaction is: 2 H2O2 -------------2 H2O + O2 The hydrogen peroxide is the reactant; water and oxygen are the products.
The balanced reaction for N2H4 + H2O2 --> N2 + H2O is N2H4 + 2H2O2 --> N2 + 4H2O
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2Catalyzing this reaction. The breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.
Two moles oxygen are obtained.
Reactants: Hydrogen Peroxide and Peroxidase Products: Water and Oxygen :) Hope this helped you!
An example of spontaneous decomposition is that of hydrogen peroxide, which will slowly decompose into water and oxygen: : 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 thus it would be a degradative reaction
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) spontaneously degrades to water and oxygen according to the reaction: 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 As with any reaction, higher temperature increases the rate of the reaction. Specifically, higher temperature will accelerate the rate that H2O2 degrades.
This is the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide:2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2
