I have been set the task of finding out how the surface area affects the rate of catalase action. In my preliminary testing I found out which size of measuring cylinder to use for the final test and what condition would be the best. Whilst all of this I had to make the test as fair and accurate as I could by measuring all the liquids and measuring of potato accurate. I have carried out some preliminary testing to experiment how the surface area affects the rate of reaction. I have chosen to have a time limit of 10 minutes and 20cl of peroxide. The purpose of these prelims was to see if one potato cube (at 6cm squared) was the same as five potato cubes (30cm squared). And then to compare the results and decide which measuring cylinder to use for the final test. This was because...
