To what temperature must manganese dioxide and concentrated sulfuric acid be heated for a reaction to occur?
When pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) is heated together with concentrated sulfuric acid, oxygen is produced. The reaction equation is: 2MnO2 + 2H2SO4 → heating → 2MnSO4 + 2H2O + O2↑. No specific temperature at which this reaction occurs could be found by consulting various sources. I’m sorry
