yes MnO2 is an example anything that oxiidizes will break the H202 DOWN

∙ 10y agoYes. Besides the fact catalyse breaks down H2O2, fact still remains that it is just another chemical in our environment and of course it can be broken down or decomposed chemically.

In the decomposition of H2O2 what does MnO act as?
MnO is the catalyst in the reaction
Does liver contain an enzyme which breaks down H2o2?
H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is broken down by Catalase [an enzyme of the Peroxidase family], produced by every living animal cell. So yes.
What is the complete redox reaction for MnO4- and H2O2 under acid conditions?
2 H2O2 -- [MnO2] --> 2 H2O + O2 A catalyst does not take place in a chemical reaction, thus it cannot be placed at the reactant or product side of the reaction equation. In stead it is usually placed above the reaction arrows, sometimes between right brackets: -- [MnO2] -->
Why is KI a catalyst for H202 decomposition but KBr and KCl aren't?
The mechanism of catalysis involves the I- ion only. The mechanism is: H2O2 + I- --> IO- + H2O H2O2 + IO- --> I- H2O O2 Second step regenerates the I- ion (thus acts as a catalyst). This reaction is first order wrt to both H2O2 and I-. Notably exothermic reaction. Must be in a medium which allows formation of I-, ie dissociation of KI. Water is a wonderful example.
What is the role of manganese dioxide in the preparation of oxygen?
The manganese dioxide is a catalyst which speeds up the break down of the H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) to release the O2.
How is H2O2 converted into harmless materials?
In human body,H2O2 is broken down intn water.Enzyme involved is catalase.
Why do cells break down H2O2?
Cells would break down H2O2 for the use of H+ and O- ion in other need compounds or for the H2O molecules for hydrolysis reactions (breaking down larger macromolecules), unless your referring to why do cells seem to breakH2O2 into H2O + O2, it's not really the cells breaking it down it's the enzyme or catalyst that the cells contain, the catalyst that some cells contain (liver cells) that will break down H2O2 is Hydrolase.
In the decomposition of H2O2 what does MnO act as?
MnO is the catalyst in the reaction
Does liver contain an enzyme which breaks down H2o2?
H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is broken down by Catalase [an enzyme of the Peroxidase family], produced by every living animal cell. So yes.
How do living cells produce H2O2?
Yes,they do produce H2O2.They are broken by catalase enzyme.
Is H2O2 an organic compound?
No, as it contains no carbon it is inorganic,
Is h2o2 organic compound?
No, as it contains no carbon it is inorganic,
Can H2O2 be broken down by catalysts other than those found in living tissues?
yes! carbon minoxide is an example
What enzyme breaks down H2O2?
Catalase break down H2O2.It is stored in peroxisomes.
What is the word equation for hydrogen peroxide manganese dioxide?
Actually, manganese dioxide is a catalyst that speeds up the reaction but does not get consumed in the reaction and is not part of the reactants or products
What are the functions of peroxisomes in an animal cell?
They break down H2O2 into water.Engage in the photorespiration.They are main.
