Hydrogen Peroxide is in a test tube. Then put some manganese (IV) oxide in(Acting as a catalyst not a reactant).
Write a word equation and provide a balanced equation.

It forms water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
2 H2O2 --> 2H2O+O2
* MnO2 goes above the yield sign because it's a catalyst (a catalyst doesn't ever end up in the actual reaction)
Source(s):
The rate of a chemical reaction is increased by means of a chemical substance known as a catalyst. Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed. Thus, the catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations, although in practice catalysts are secondary processes.

hydrogen peroxide > water + oxygen
2 H202 --> 2 H20 + O2
2 H202 --> 2 H20 + O2
