MnO is the catalyst in the reaction
The balanced equation for this decomposition reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of H2O2 is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2. This shows that two moles of H2O2 are required to produce each mole of O2. By definition, a 0.500 M solution of H2O2 contains 0.500 moles of H2O2 in each liter of solution. Solutions are always homogeneous; therefore, 50,0 mL of such a solution will contain (0.500)(50.0/1000) or 0.0250 moles of H2O2. As noted in the first paragraph, this will produce half as many, or 0.0125, moles of O2. The gram molar mass of O2 is twice the gram atomic mass of oxygen, or 31.9988. Therefore, decomposition of this amount of H2O2 will produce 31.9988 X 0.0125 or 0.400 gram of O2, to the justified number of significant digits.
It all has to do with catalase. Catalase is an enzyme and a biological catalyst in the decomposition of H2O2. When its fresh, catalase is still present in the liver. However, when the liver is boiled, the catalase enzyme is denatured (as it is a protein).
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2 ) is a chemical compound that decomposes into water and oxygen when exposed to light. This happens because the light energy is sufficient to bring about cleavage in the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in this compound. The dissociated elements again associate to form water ( which is a stable compound ) and oxygen. to prevent H2O2 from decomposition, it should be protected from light.
The balanced equation for this decomposition reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
The decomposition of H2O2 is exothermic and oxygen is released.
to decrease the activation energy
It doesn't. MnO2 catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 into water and oxygen: 2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2.
The reaction of decomposition is:2 H2O2===========>2 H2O + O2
The decomposition reaction is:2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2
The purpose is to avoid decomposition of H2O2.
The products of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are water and oxygen, as shown in the following equation: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2
Hydrogen peroxide, which has the formula H2O2, is preferably stored in dark coloured bottles because visible light can catalyze the decomposition of the peroxide to water and oxygen.
2 H2O2 ---> 2 H2O + O2 + energy, it's exothermic
