Manganese
Dioxide
chemical
formula: MnO2
( fine powder )
Manganese Dioxide is a widely
used, powerful catalyst, speeding up a variety of chemical reactions. In a
classical experiment of elementary chemistry, it is used to make pure
Oxygen gas. The procedure consists of merely heating Potassium Chlorate
and Manganese Dioxide together. It's mainly used in the manufacture of
batteries. A piece of Zinc metal for an
electrode, along with a paste
made from Water, Manganese Dioxide and Ammonium Chloride makes the familiar dry cell battery.
