16PRACTICE PROBLEM
Adding a small amount of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution is often used as a demonstration in chemistry classes. Under these conditions, hydrogen peroxide decomposes quite notably to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese (IV) oxide is a catalyst in the decomposition reaction and it is not consumed in the reaction. What is the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide?
