I intend to investigate the reaction of the enzyme catalase with the metabolic poison hydrogen peroxide, and a factor affecting the rate of the reaction. There are 6 variables that may affect the rate of the reaction. They are: 1. concentration of enzyme 2. concentration of hydrogen peroxide 3. temperature conditions of reaction 4. pressure conditions of reaction 5. pH conditions of reaction 6. physical state of solid substrates (e.g. surface area of particles) I intend to investigate the effects on the reaction rate upon altering the concentration of the enzyme. In order to do this while also ensuring a fair test, I shall aim to maintain all other latent variables constant. PREDICTIONS: I expect that the time taken to evolve a set volume of gas will decrease as the concentration increases. This, in other words, means that to increase the concentration, will increase the rate of the reaction. I...
