Factors Affecting the rate of Hydrogen Peroxide degradation using Catalase Introduction An enzyme is a globular protein which functions as a catalyst that speeds up the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the reaction. An enzyme-catalyzed reaction occurs when a substance called the substrate binds onto the active site of the enzyme. This joining allows for a reduction in the activation energy and the reduction in activation energy helps the reaction to occur at a quicker rate. Enzyme

What happens? For many reactions involving liquids or gases‚ increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of reaction. In a few cases‚ increasing the concentration of one of the reactants may have little noticeable effect of the rate. These cases are discussed and explained further down this page. Don’t assume that if you double the concentration of one of the reactants that you will double the rate of the reaction. It may happen like that‚ but the relationship may well

An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are protein chains that have a primary‚ secondary

Biology investigation: Liver and hydrogen peroxide By Cuong Tran Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the optimum temperature for enzyme activity. The stated hypothesis was that 37oC would be the optimum temperature for liver enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The dependent variable was to measure the amount of foam being produced‚ while testing 4 different temperatures with 3 repetitions each. Out of the 12 trials only 2 outliers were found

Catalase Experiment Research Question: How does the weight of a piece of liver (0.4g‚ 0.8g‚ 1.2g and 1.6g in this case) affect the amount of gas created after 2 minutes when combined with hydrogen peroxide? Aim: To see find out how the amount of catalase correlates with the amount of gas created when in combination with hydrogen peroxide. Materials: 15g of liver 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide 1 scale 1 bucket 1 100ml graduated cylinder 1 250ml flask with bung 1 50cm tube (able to fix onto top of flask)

Analyzing a Hydrogen Peroxide Solution Purpose: The technological purpose of this investigation is to test and evaluate the percent concentration of consumer solution of hydrogen peroxide. Problem: What is the percent concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a consumer product? Design: An acidic solution of primary standard‚ iron (II) ammonium sulfate-water (1/6)‚ is prepared and the potassium permanganate standard. A 25.0 mL sample of a consumer solution of hydrogen peroxide is diluted to 1
