Manganese Dioxide Precipitation

MnSO4 + 2NaOH + H2O2 → MnO2↓ + Na2SO4 + 2H2O

نظرة عامة

Manganese(II) sulfate is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in basic solution to form a dark brown precipitate of manganese dioxide. Mn is oxidized from +2 to +4. MnO₂ is highly insoluble and is a very effective catalyst for H₂O₂ decomposition.
