INTRODUCTION: An investigation into how the amount of oxygen is produced by changing one variable effects the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide in the presence of the enzyme. AIM: To investigate the affect of varying the concentration of H2O2 in a catalyse reaction of an enzyme. THEORY: Enzymes exist in all living things. They are known as Biological Catalysts as they dramatically increase the rate at which reactions occur within living organisms, without being 'used up' or effecting the reaction in any other way. In this investigation I intend to explore the one of the factors that will affect the rate of enzyme catalysis. My research from textbooks and the Internet suggests that this depends on several factors; temperature, pressure, pH and concentration of H2O2. After research and careful consideration, I have decided to first look at how a change in H2O2 concentration could affect the rate of reaction. Enzymes...
