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.

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

In CF4 and NF3, the valence electron groups on the central C and N atoms have a tetrahedral arrangement. The shapes of the molecules are determined by the number of bonding and nonbonding of electrons: since CF4 has four bonded atom(s) and zero lone pair(s) of electrons, the shape is tetrahedral.
