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.

CORO<br> Name three ways that scientists can ensure their results<br> are reliable
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Reliability. When a scientist repeats an experiment with a different group of people or a different batch of the same chemicals and gets very similar results then those results are said to be reliable. Reliability is measured by a percentage – if you get exactly the same results every time then they are 100% reliable.

Sorry, I only got one way.

What is the cell potential for the reaction mg(s+fe2+(aq?mg2+(aq+fe(s at 77 ?c when [fe2+]= 3.40 m and [mg2+]= 0.210 m . express
Galina-37 [17]
First, you need to calculate the standard cell potential using standard reduction potential from a textbook or online. Since Mg becomes Mg+2, magnesium is being oxidized because it is losing electrons, you need to flip its potential

Fe+2 + 2e- --> Fe                  potential= -0.44
Mg+2 + 2e- --> Mg                potential= -2.37


Cell potential= (-0.44) + (+2.37)= 1.93 V

Now, you need to use Nernst formula to get the answer. I have attached a PDF with the work.
