Absolutely anything. Peroxide is so unstable that anything that oxygen can nucleate on will catalyse the decomposition. That includes ions, dust, other gas bubbles, you name it, although the reaction rate will vary.

Why a pinch of manganese dioxide causes hydrogen peroxide to explode?

Manganese dioxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.


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.


Which enzyme is responsible to the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?

Manganese oxide is a catalyst which speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

What is the Best method laboratory preparation of oxygen?

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using a catalyst, commonly manganese(IV) oxide


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.

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.


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.


If you use 30 percent percent hydrogen peroxide and manganese where does the hydrogen go to?

The two hydrogen atoms remain bound to a single oxygen atom to form water while the oxygen released by the manganese-facilitated decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide molecule pairs up with another oxygen atom to form gaseous oxygen. The catalyzed decomposition reaction of 30% H2O2 at ordinary conditions is quite vigorous and most of the contents of the container will end up on the table, ceiling and walls. DO NOT SEAL THE REACTION VESSEL! (...unless it is a rubber balloon,)


Does manganese dioxide catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide?

Yes manganese dioxide catalyzes the break down of hydrogen peroxide.
