what are the products?
SiH4+O2-->? im guessing its H2O and SiO3?
what about the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
((you dont kno what the catalyst is))
H2O2-->H2+O2?

When silane burns, SiO2 is formed (and water). You can now draw up the balanced equation.
Manganese(IV) oxide catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide:
2H2O2 ----> 2H2O + O2

1) SiH4 + O2 â SiO2 + 2 H2
2) 2H2O2 â 2H2O + O2
Regarding catalysts: There are a number of possibilities because there are a number of catalysts that will decompose H2O2
a) Using the enzyme catalase
b) Using transition metals such as copper, manganese or zinc or their oxides. Mn better than copper better than zinc.
c) UV light (lesser order of magnitude compared to the other two)
