Hi, I need help balancing this equation H2O2+MnO2=2HO+Mn+O2 is that right?

Aka, see this example: http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/betha/nealChemBal/fr1.2.html
Extrapolate to your equation what you have learned.

MnO2 is most likely only a catalyst.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
