Why a pinch of manganese dioxide causes hydrogen peroxide to explode?
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What is the substance that identifies a substance as an enzyme?
The substance that is used to identify enzymes is hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes will catalyze the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas will form.
Which reactions are catalyzed by manganese dioxide?
1. The decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide to Water and Oxygen 2. The decomposition of Potassium chlorate to Potassium chloride and Oxygen
Is 2H2O2--2H2O O2 spontaneous?
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is spontaneous but some catalysts increase the speed of reaction.
What is the balanced equation of the decomposition of H202?
2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Check out Wikipedia's entry on Hydrogen Peroxide
Why is it important to establish a baseline before performing an hydrogen peroxide decomposition?
to compare the results
What is the catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
manganese sulfide
What are the products of the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide?
The products of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are water and oxygen, as shown in the following equation: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2
Which enzyme is responsible to the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?
Manganese oxide is a catalyst which speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
Why a pinch of manganese dioxide causes hydrogen peroxide to explode?
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What is negative catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
phosphoric acid
What evidence was there that a chemical reaction was taking place in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
The decomposition of H2O2 is exothermic and oxygen is released.
What will you observe when adding manganese oxide to hydrogen peroxide?
A decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. The manganese oxide acts as a catalyst and is not itself changed.
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide endothermic or exothermic?
It is obscenely exothermic This means that Hydrogen Peroxide is releasing heat to the surrounding environment, thus increasing the temperature.
Liver plus hydrogen peroxide equals what and what?
When Hydrogen Peroxide (2H2O2) is combined with a small piece of liver, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes. This is because the small piece of liver acts as a catalyst, or the cause, of the decomposition of the Hydrogen Peroxide.The balanced equation is thus:2H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) ---------> 2H2O + O2
What is the balanced equation for hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide?
There isn't one because there is no reaction beyond the catalysis of the decomposition of the peroxide.
What has the author Kirk L Shanahan written?
Kirk L. Shanahan has written: 'The effect of Fe+, Cr+, Ni, and Mn+ ions on decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution' -- subject(s): Ions, Decomposition (Chemistry), Hydrogen peroxide
