An Investigation to find out the affect Of increasing amount of catalase on hydrogen peroxide General Background In all cells an enzyme called catalase can be found, this enzyme breaks down various substrates to produce products. This investigation will show the affects of catalase on the substrate hydrogen peroxide. The equation below shows the reaction that will take place during the experiment, Catalase 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 Throughout this investigation there will be a record kept of how much gas is produced for the reaction, from this we can work out the rate of reaction that occurs when this enzyme is at work. Apparatus List * Clamp and Stand * Conical Flask (100cm³) * Gas Syringe (100cm³) * Beaker (100cm³) * Beaker (200cm³) * Syringe (10cm³) * Stop Watch * Glass Tile * Ruler * Thermometer * Knife * Glass Rod * Cork Borer (x7) * Potato * Hydrogen Peroxide * Safety Goggles * Lab Coat * Surgical Gloves (if required) Hypothesis The prediction is that when the enzyme concentration is increased...
