Catalysts	Traveling waves of color	has a catalyst and produces concentric rings of color		44	Demonstration
Catalysts	Catalysis of H2O2	Sprinkle manganese dioxide into a beaker containing hydrogen peroxide on the overhead projector.  By using a small amount of catalyst you can see bubbles slowly evolve, or by adding a lot, the reaction is more violent and spews steam and H2O2 onto the head of the projector.  Exothermic reaction	For other catalysts see #43.  Can do this one as "genie in bottle" - do reaction in 2L Coke bottle, see bottle shrink.  Also on Shakhashiri tape III #48; Close up on Chemistry Ealy 31:03 (3:28 min)  (For Ealy set timer to zero when first text rolls on screen.)	96	Demonstration
