H2O2 + NaHSO4

I was cleaning up some MnO2 from the sides of a beaker with the mixture in the title when bubbles formed. What exactly happens when you mix H2O2 and NaHSO4?

Thanks, FlaskBreaker.

OR, what happens when H2O2 is catalytically decomposed by MnO2

The H2O2 decays into O2 and H2O using the MnO2 as a catalyst.

Oh, yes, I forgot about this. Thanks for the replies.
