What Is Manganese Dioxide Used For?

Its most familiar job is as the catalyst in the laboratory preparation of oxygen. A spatula-tip of the dark powder added to hydrogen peroxide releases a steady stream of oxygen that can be collected over water with a simple gas collection apparatus, and the oxide can be filtered off afterwards, showing that a catalyst is not used up. It also speeds up the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate in the older oxygen preparation.

As an oxidising agent, manganese dioxide warmed with concentrated hydrochloric acid liberates chlorine, so that preparation belongs in a fume cupboard. Teachers also use it to explain the dry cell, where it surrounds the carbon rod and acts as the depolariser. Weigh it with a clean spatula, avoid raising dust, and close the container straight after use.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Product code SCI-675/296 and the number of 200 g packs required
• Whether this 200 g pack or the separate manganese dioxide listing in our range better matches your usage
• Companion reagents such as hydrogen peroxide or hydrochloric acid to quote on the same order
• Your delivery location and whether you want the batch expiry date stated on the quotation

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and sources Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) for teaching and testing laboratories rather than producing it. Each supply is packed with its MSDS and can be combined with glassware, stands and other chemicals so that a school or college receives a complete practical set on one order.

Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can read more about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese)?
Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) is manganese dioxide, MnO2, the oxide of manganese in the +4 oxidation state. Catalogue code SCI-675/296 is analytical reagent grade and is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS for teaching and general laboratory work.

Is manganese dioxide used up when it decomposes hydrogen peroxide?
No. Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) acts as a catalyst when hydrogen peroxide decomposes, so the solid can be filtered off, washed, dried and weighed at the end to show its mass is essentially unchanged, a useful extension to the oxygen preparation practical.

How should this manganese dioxide be stored?
Store Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) in its closed container in a cool, dry place, away from combustible materials, reducing agents and concentrated acids. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

What safety information comes with it?
Each pack of Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) SCI-675/296 is supplied with an MSDS covering hazards, handling, first aid and disposal. Students should avoid inhaling the powder, wear eye protection, and carry out any chlorine preparation with it only in a fume cupboard.
