How can the rate of the chemical reaction, namely, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide be increased?

उत्तर
\[\ce{\underset{peroxide}{\underset{Hydrogen}{2H2O}_{2(l)}} -> \underset{water}{2H2O} + \underset{oxygen}{O2\uparrow}}\]
- The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen takes place slowly at room temperature.
- However, hydrogen peroxide decomposes rapidly in the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO2) powder, which acts as a catalyst.
- Thus, by adding manganese dioxide (MnO2) powder, the rate of a chemical reaction can be increased.

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
