Coursework - Enzymes Aim: To Investigate the effect of changing temperature on the action of the enzyme catalyse, by measuring the volume of gas produced in 20 seconds Method Catalyse is an enzyme found in all living cells. It makes Hydrogen Peroxide decompose into water and oxygen. We are going to measure the amount of oxygen released from the hydrogen peroxide, during a 20 second period, to try and find out how quickly the reaction is happening. We will conduct the experiment under different temperatures, measuring the volume of gas produced each time using a gas syringe. The Chemical Reaction Hydrogen Peroxide water + oxygen Prediction Volume of gas produced: In other words, when the temperature is increased, the rate of enzyme activity will also increase: for every 10?c rise in temperature, I predict that the rate of enzyme activity will roughly double. For example, increasing the temperature the experiment was conducted under from 20?c to...
