M G 0005 Enzymes Aim To find out how different surface areas affect the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Plan I plan to use potato pieces; cut to 4cm long and for the fist experiment I shall leave it as whole and for the rest of the 4 other experiments I shall divide it up, fist of all divide it into 1/2,1/4, 1/8 and pulp surface areas, and then to place them individually into a beaker of hydrogen peroxide. I will have rubber tubing coming from hydrogen peroxide beaker and the opposite end going into the test tube of water. When placing the potato pieces into the hydrogen peroxide I shall start the stopwatch and leave the experiment going for 5 minutes and count the number of oxygen bubbles that are produced in the beaker of water within the time, to determine the rates of the different surface areas. I will repeat the experiment again...
