Investigating How Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide affects the rate of Catalase reaction. What I am investigating I am investigating how changing the concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide affects the rate of reaction in the enzyme Catalase. This will involve placing a set quantity of liver (a source of Catalase) into different concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide and measuring how long it takes to produce an amount of oxygen. Apparatus List 6% Hydrogen Peroxide concentration, water, 1000ml glass beaker, test tube, bung for sealing test tube with rubber tube extruding from the top, stopwatch, liver, 50 cm3 measuring cylinder, measuring scales, 5ml syringe, 200ml glass beaker. Method 1. Fill the 50cm3 measuring cylinder with water and place it inverted into the 1000ml glass beaker which will also be filled with water, making sure that no gas is allowed to enter into the measuring cylinder. Fill the 200ml glass beaker with tap water. Leave to acclimatise. 2. Thread the rubber rube...
