sulphuric acid acts as a catalyst for the decomposition for hydrogen peroxide.

I doubt water is a reactant, seems like a possible product to me. ;)
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

xiankai: even adding dilute HCl catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
