Optimum Temperature Of Catalase

The results show that as the temperature increases, the rate of reaction between catalase and hydrogen peroxide also increased until the optimum temperature was reached. Once the temperature exceeded this optimum temperature the rate of enzyme activity had decreased. The optimum temperature for catalase in this experiment was 40°C which gave the maximum rate of reaction. From 0°C to 40°C the height of the froth increased resulting in a peak of the height of froth at 64mm. As the temperature was increased molecules moved faster and had more frequent collisions per unit of time. The molecules had a higher kinetic energy at higher temperature. This meant that more of the molecules had energy to react when they collided. The activation energy was
