Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide)
Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) (Product Code: SCI-568/160) is an analytical reagent grade manganese dioxide used mainly as a catalyst for preparing oxygen from hydrogen peroxide in school and college chemistry labs. It comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS, a convenient size because a catalyst is recovered and reused rather than used up. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Manganese Dioxide Used For?
The standard oxygen preparation adds a spatula of manganese dioxide to hydrogen peroxide solution in a conical flask; oxygen bubbles off rapidly, is collected over water and is identified because it relights a glowing splint. Filtering, drying and weighing the black solid afterwards shows that its mass is unchanged — the key evidence that it acts as a catalyst.
In college laboratories, manganese dioxide is heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to generate chlorine, a reaction that must be carried out in a fume cupboard, and it is the oxidising agent in the zinc-carbon dry cells studied in electrochemistry. Avoid inhaling the dust and keep the oxide away from strong reducing agents and combustible materials.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 100 g packs, bearing in mind that recovered catalyst can be reused.
- Hydrogen peroxide and gas-collection glassware for the oxygen practical.
- Whether a separate, larger-pack manganese dioxide listing would suit heavier use.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) to teaching and testing laboratories as part of the lab chemicals it sources, with an MSDS in each pack. Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen-collection glassware can be quoted together for schools, colleges, dealers and importers. More information: ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) used for?
Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) SCI-568/160 is used as a catalyst to release oxygen from hydrogen peroxide, as an oxidising agent in the preparation of chlorine and in lessons on dry cells. It is analytical reagent grade for school and college labs.
Is manganese dioxide used up in the oxygen experiment?
No. Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) acts as a catalyst, so it speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide without being consumed. Students can filter, dry and weigh it after the reaction to show that its mass is unchanged.
What pack size is Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide)?
Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) SCI-568/160 is supplied in a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade material with an MSDS. Because the catalyst can be recovered, one pack covers many class demonstrations of oxygen preparation.
How should manganese dioxide be stored?
Keep Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) SCI-568/160 in a closed container in a dry cupboard, away from reducing agents and combustible materials. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
