Turnip Peroxidase Lab Report

In our experiment we conducted an experiment to validify our hypothesis: “ If the enzyme concentration increases, it would alter the rate of which the color changes.” We hypothesized that the increase of an enzyme concentration would result in the increase of reaction rate; our experiment provided enough data to prove our hypothesis. The function of this experiment was to investigate how the influence of turnip peroxidase enzyme on the rate of reaction. As a given we would have 20g of turnip in 500 mL of deionized water. We would have a three different trials and in those trials we would do it three times. We would use the color chart to determine the amount of color change. The problems we had during this experiment was that the pipette, beakers,
micropipettes, and all the tools we used may not be 100% exact. Also determining the colors between group members was a hard thing because two people can give two different answers. In order to determine the color better we could’ve used a spectrophotometer which can determine the concentration of oxygen.
