BIOLOGY COURSEWORK: INVESTIGATION OF HOW PH AFFECTS THE RATE OF REACTION OF CATALASE Experiment Methodology These results were obtained using an altered methodology to the original plan. A quantity of sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid was added to a 5ml solution of hydrogen peroxide, to form a solution of a certain pH, which was tested by the digital pH meters (and universal indicator paper). The new method was using a test tube to carry out the reaction as usual, but instead using a delivery tube and bung connected to the reaction test tube and the other end that leads to an upturned test tube full of water. The amount of gas is then measured by timing how long it took until 10ml of water in the test tube was displaced by the output of gas from the reaction test tube. The gas produced is oxygen. There were no real safety precautions in...
