Dissolving Manganese Dioxide in Sulfuric Acid?
At what temprerature will Manganese Dioxide starting to dissolve in Sulfuric Acid to produce Manganese Sulfate?
Does Manganese Dioxide reacts with Sulfuric Acid at room temprerature?

I think not, because MnO2 is insoluble.
But boiling concentrated H2SO4 (VERY VERY DANGEROUS) could dissolve MnSO4.
like I said in another of your posts, the route is to transform MnO2 to Mn2O3 by blowtorch heat and then leach it with H2SO4. ( I use 30% conc. ie
battery acid concentration)
Check the permanganate post.

In Wikipedia, manganese dioxide, reactions
Hot concentrated sulfuric acid reduces MnO2 to manganese(II) sulfate:
2 MnO2 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 MnSO4 + O2 + 2 H2O
......................................
So the evolution of oxygen should drive the reaction,
and, at a guess, if hot enough (boiling) the water would also be boiled off, increasing yield that may otherwise be decreased by atmospheric oxygen?
(as above - boiling conc. sulphuric acid is hazardous - it can 'bump' VIOLENTLY, so take extra care)
PS when the solution cools I would expect anhydrous manganese sulphate to precipitate out,
probably VERY hygroscopic.
Another guess

Add a reducing agent such as hydrogen peroxide (in dilute, not concentrated acid) if you want the reaction to go at reasonable temperatures.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

Remember that "concentrated sulphuric acid" actually spans a vast range of Hammett acidity values.
Quoting some numbers from a table by Ryabova et al. 1966:
3% +0,31
5% -0,02
18% -0,97
20% -1,10
30% -1,82
32% -1,96
35% -2,19
45% -2,95
47% -3,13
55% -3,91
57% -4,15
62% -4,82
65% -5,18
70% -5,92
72% -6,23
75% -6,72
77% -7,05
82% -7,84
85% -8,29
87% -8,60
90% -9,03
96% -9,88
98% -10,27
99% -10,57
99,6% -10,92
99,7% -11,01
99,95% -11,64
100.00% -11,94
So, not only the behaviour of 30% and 96% acid are different, but both are quite different from what happens at 70% or 100,00%.

In a textbook/lab/home/classroom context
unless otherwise specified
"concentrated sulphuric acid"
means near azeotropic.
Anything else would need a concentration specification.
(molarity, w/w%, 'chamber' etc.)

Am sorry to drift this off topic a little, but why the dioxide not react with sulfuric acid to make Mn(SO4)2?, i expect oxidizer to react with acid
usually.

The Hammett acidity function is essentially an extension of the pH scale into non-aqueous solvents.

Did you mean oxide? Mn4+ is not much stable. Its only compounds that I know are our subject (MnO2) and MnF4, which is
unstable and reacts with anything (air, water, solvents). Manganese likes to be 2+, that's why we need a reducing agent.
@solo: Those are the values in the Hammett acidity scale. It's like pH, for concentrated solutions. At low concentrations, the pH and Hammett values
are very close. (Nevermind.)

It could react, but you need boiling concentrated, or maybe digestion ( long time medium temperature acid)
I think its because solubility of MnO2 is insoluble.
" Manganese (IV) dioxide (MnO2) is a strong oxidizer and is insoluble in water, nitric acid, or cold sulfuric acid, and it may slowly dissolve in
aqueous HCl to give off Cl 2 gas."

Add the oxide to some water, slowly add sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide until you obtain a pink solution. Filter and then concentrate. You'll get
MnSO4 1-Hydrate.
It is better to separate the crystals from mother liquors after a few hours at room temperature.
