In an experiment that we did in lab, we sped up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by adding the solid catalyst MnO2.The question says to assume the reaction is first-order in peroxide and manganese dioxide. Why is it problematic to write a rate law for the decomposition of H2O2 with MnO2 as catalyst?
