Oxygen is produced by the decomposition of aqueous hydrogenperoxide. Manganese(oxide, MnO2, is a catalyst for this reaction. State the meaning of the term catalyst. A student adds powdered manganese(oxide to aqueous hydrogenperoxide in a conical flask as shown in Fig.4.1. The mass of the conical flask and its contents is measured at regular time intervals. The mass decreases as time increases. loosely fitting cotton wool plug aqueous hydrogen peroxide powdered manganese(oxide balance State why the mass of the conical flask and its contents decreases as time increases. The rate of reaction is highest at the start of the reaction. The rate decreases and eventually becomes zero. Explain why the rate of reaction is highest at the start of the reaction. Explain why the rate of reaction eventually becomes zero. The experiment is repeated at an increased temperature. All other conditions stay the same. Explain in terms of collision theory why the rate of reaction is higher at an increased temperature. The equation for the decomposition of aqueous hydrogenperoxide, H2O2, is shown. 2H2O2→ 2H2O+ O250.0 cm3 of a 0.200 mol / dm3 solution of H2O2is used. Calculate the mass of O2 that forms. Use the following steps. ● Calculate the number of moles of H2O2 used.  mol ● Determine the number of moles of O2 produced.  mol ● Calculate the mass of O2 produced.  g  State the effect on the mass of oxygen produced if the mass of powdered manganese(oxide catalyst is increased. Oxygen can also be produced by the decomposition of mercury(oxide, HgO. The only products of this decomposition are mercury and oxygen. Write a symbol equation for this decomposition.
