An investigation to see how much Oxygen is produced in the reaction between Hydrogen Peroxide and catalase. Introduction In this experiment, I will find out what main factors affect the production of oxygen, in the reaction between hydrogen Peroxide and catalase. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature of the hydrogen peroxide the more oxygen will be produced. However, this will be limited as enzymes denature at approximately 45ºC and at approximately 60ºC the reaction ceases altogether. Apparatus * Potato * Scalpel * Tile * Cork borer * Hydrogen peroxide * Conical flask / tube bung * Margarine tub * Measuring cylinder * Pipettes * Water * Bunsen burner/ tripod and gauze * Thermometer * Electronic top pan balance * Beaker * Ruler Planning and Preliminary work In order to make my test a fair test I kept the mass and surface area of the potato constant at 10g and the surface area at 1 cm diameter and 6 cm length.
