2KMnO4 (aq) + 5H2O2 (aq) + 3H2SO4 (aq) => 2MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 + 8H2O (l) + 5O2 (g)
Simple question, in this reaction is sulphuric acid a catalyst? In some other equations I've seen it isn't added in the equation:
MnO4- + H2O2 =(acid)=> Mn2+ + O2
If it is a catalyst, then about how much should I add to a 50ml conical flask of about 1.0M H2O2?
