The Effect of Substrate Concentration On an Enzyme Catalysed Reaction. PLAN AIM: I am trying to find out how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution (substrate) affects the amount of oxygen produced. I will use different concentrations of substrate, with an enzyme (catalase) from a potato. I will measure the volume of oxygen produced when the catalase breaks down the hydrogen peroxide solution. I am also trying to find out how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution will affect the rate of reaction of the oxygen produced. The enzyme, catalase, produces the reaction below. It shows us that when catalase breaks down the substrate, water and oxygen are produced. Hydrogen Peroxide Water + Oxygen CATALASE 2H O 2H O + O PREDICTION: I predict that the higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide there is, more oxygen will be produced in the allotted time. When there is a 100% concentration of hydrogen peroxide,...
