The reaction rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in the presence of a catalyst can be affected by various factors, including pressure. The reaction can be represented as follows:2 H2O2 2 H2O + O2In the presence of a catalyst, such as manganese dioxide MnO2 or catalase enzyme, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is accelerated.According to the collision theory, the reaction rate is directly proportional to the frequency of effective collisions between reactant molecules. As pressure increases, the concentration of the reactants in the gaseous phase also increases, leading to a higher frequency of collisions between molecules.However, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide mainly involves the breaking of O-O bonds, which is not significantly affected by pressure changes. Therefore, the effect of pressure on the reaction rate may not be as pronounced as it would be for other reactions involving gaseous reactants and products.In summary, the reaction rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst may increase slightly with increasing pressure due to the increased frequency of molecular collisions. However, the effect of pressure on this reaction is generally considered to be less significant compared to other factors, such as temperature and catalyst concentration.
