Well, it depends on what you are talking about, but basically it speed up the chemical reaction, thus producing the final products faster than without the catalyst.

Manganese dioxide and catalase are two different substances, both of which can accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

In heating the mixture of potassium chlorate and manganese dioxide what is the role of the manganese dioxide?
It serves as a catalysts.
Is manganese dioxide a catalyst?
Enzymes are boilogical catalysts or assistants that speed up chemical reactions with out changing all enzymes are catalysts but not all catalysts are enzymes.Manganese oxide is not an enzyme but is a catalyst it is also a mineral. Thank you.
What does MnO2 mean in a chemical equation?
It means you have some manganese(IV) oxide. This compound most often shows up in chemical equations as a catalyst. It is most popularly used as a catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2.) A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the reaction's activation energy. In the equation for a chemical reaction, the catalyst is written in superscript-small symbols above the "yield" arrow.
What is the word equation for hydrogen peroxide manganese dioxide?
Actually, manganese dioxide is a catalyst that speeds up the reaction but does not get consumed in the reaction and is not part of the reactants or products
What does manganese above an arrow in a formula equation mean?
it means that manganese is a catalyst in the reaction.
Is MnO2 a homogenous catalyst?
Manganese dioxide is non-homogeneous catalyst.
What is a example of a catalyst?
Manganese dioxide (MnO2)
In heating the mixture of potassium chlorate and manganese dioxide what is the role of the manganese dioxide?
It serves as a catalysts.
Why a pinch of manganese dioxide causes hydrogen peroxide to explode?
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What can the manganese dioxide be called when mixed with hydrogen peroxide?
Catalyst.
What is a catalyst that speeds up reactions in living things?
manganese dioxide
What is the role of manganese dioxide in the preparation of oxygen?
The manganese dioxide is a catalyst which speeds up the break down of the H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) to release the O2.
Is manganese dioxide a catalyst?
Enzymes are boilogical catalysts or assistants that speed up chemical reactions with out changing all enzymes are catalysts but not all catalysts are enzymes.Manganese oxide is not an enzyme but is a catalyst it is also a mineral. Thank you.
Is magnesium dioxide a inorganic catalyst?
Magnesium dioxide MgO2 is a peroxide, Mg2+ O22-. It is reactive and has no uses as a catalyst. Magnesium oxide MgO doped with lithium has been repoerted as being a Yes, catalyst in the reaction of oxidative dimirization of methane. Manganese dioxide has uses as a catalyst.
What happens when manganese dioxide is added to hydrogen peroxide and why was manganese dioxide added to the test tube containing hydrogen peroxide?
Yes, it would bubble because the bubbles are the result of the breakdown of two hydrogen peroxide molecules into oxygen and two water molecules.
How does Hydrogen peroxide decomposes much faster in the presence of enzyme catalysts?
Try a peroxidase enzyme. For example "Versatile peroxidase", Jena Biosciences #EN-203L is an extremely effective catalyst.
Is manganese dioxide organic?
The manganese dioxide is an inorganic compound.
