Answer:
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst.
Explanation:
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is a slow reaction and MnO₂ is used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
The role of MnO₂ (catalyst):
- Chemical reactions occur faster in the presence of a catalyst because the catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy than the non-catalyzed mechanism.
- In catalyzed mechanisms, the catalyst usually reacts to form a temporary intermediate, which then regenerates the original catalyst in a cyclic process.
- A substance which provides a mechanism with a higher activation energy does not decrease the rate because the reaction can still occur by the non-catalyzed route.
- The catalyst does not used up in the reaction.
So, the right choice is:
Manganese dioxide is a catalyst.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
This is the only option that could produce an objective answer through experimentation or studies. The other options can be answered subjectively and are opinion based. They could not be answered scientifically.

Answer: 0.294 mol of present in the reaction vessel.
Explanation:
Initial moles of = 0.682 mole
Initial moles of = 0.440 mole
Volume of container = 2.00 L
Initial concentration of
Initial concentration of
equilibrium concentration of
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
Initial conc. 0.341 M 0.220 M 0 M
At eqm. conc. (0.341-x) M (0.220-x) M (2x) M
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
we are given : (0.341-x) = 0.268 M
x= 0.073 M
Thus equilibrium concentration of = (0.220-x) M = (0.220-0.073) M = 0.147 M
Thus there are 0.294 mol of present in the reaction vessel.
