Investigating how increasing the amount of potato mixed with a fixed amount of hydrogen peroxide affects the volume of froth produced Aim: To investigate how increasing weights of potato affect the volume/mlČ of froth produced over a fixed period of time, when mixed with a fixed amount of hydrogen peroxide. Prediction: There should be more ml2 of froth in direct proportion to the increase in the amount of potato (i.e. if there is a greater weight of potato, the amount of froth mlČ should also increase) as this will show that the increased concentration of potato has reacted with the hydrogen peroxide to generate a proportionate increase in the amount of froth or gas given off by the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O2) and is used as an oxidising or reducing agent in many industrial processes. This is because the extra oxygen molecule (compared to water...
