Cold Catalase Lab Report

This section analyzes and presents the results of the two trials conducted, including the trial in which Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a cold catalase solution and the other in which the Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) was denatured by a hot catalase solution.

The experiment conducted displayed signs of experimental error as there were many situations in which the materials provided could have faulted. Theoretically speaking, from the inconsistent values provided for the pH levels, a possible error could be that the pH probe may have been internally damaged such that the filling solution was contaminated. Moreover, the pH probe although it was rinsed with distilled water thoroughly, it could have had leftover chemicals from previous experiments that were not removed seeing as these atoms that were within those chemicals are not visible to the naked eye.
Through the procedure, there is no specific temperature requested for the cold and hot catalase solutions. In general the terms for hot and cold are comprehended differently by different scientists, in order for this experiment to improve, a specific temperature should be requested for both the hot and cold catalase solutions. Another temperature factor that was not taken into account is that the catalase was being placed into the hot and cold atmospheres, they were not heated or cooled, this factor might affect the results as the insulation and exposition of the catalases to both environments was dependent on the beaker they were poured into, if the glass of the beaker was thicker or more insulated it could have affected both
