"On the Reaction of Manganese Dioxide and Hydrogen Peroxide"

There are substances in the world, one is manganese dioxide and the other is hydrogen peroxide. When the two meet, a wonderful change occurs.

Manganese dioxide is stable and has catalytic ability. Hydrogen peroxide, at room temperature, gradually decomposes, but its speed is slow. When encountering manganese dioxide, it seems to have received divine help, and the decomposition speed increases sharply.

The reaction formula is: Hydrogen peroxide decomposes under the catalysis of manganese dioxide to produce water and oxygen. That is, hydrogen peroxide ($H_ {2} O_ {2} $), catalyzed by manganese dioxide ($MnO_ {2} $), converts into water ($H_ {2} O $) and oxygen ($O_ {2} $).

Looking at this reaction, although manganese dioxide participates in it, the reaction ends, and its quality and quantity remain unchanged. It is actually the catalyst of the reaction. And hydrogen peroxide, because of manganese dioxide, accelerates the decomposition and releases oxygen. This oxygen can support combustion and has great functions in the world.

From this, it can be seen that the reaction of the substance is very subtle. Manganese dioxide is like a guide to hydrogen peroxide, leading it to change rapidly and become a new substance. The mystery of this cannot be known without deep investigation.
