I think that the more hydrogen peroxide used (the higher the concentration), the more oxygen will be produced. I think this because I have researched enzymes and catalysts and have found out the following information on chemical reactions, enzymes, catalysts and concentration of acid : A chemical reaction is the process in which chemical substances are converted into other substances. A reactant is a chemical that can be converted into another substance through a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up itself. Before a reactant can turn into a product it needs the energy to start off the reaction.
