Tuesday 3rd March William Bowles. Biology plan- an investigation to see the difference in the rate of reaction When catalyse is added to hydrogen peroxide at different Concentrations. I am doing an investigation to look at the difference in the rate of breakdown when catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide when the hydrogen peroxide is of different concentrations. When catalase is added to the hydrogen peroxide then a breakdown takes place and water and oxygen are produced. When I say concentrations I mean with a different ratio of hydrogen peroxide to distilled water. I am doing this investigation to find out how the rate of oxygen produced will differ. The reason why these two substances do react is because enzymes are large proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Catalase is an enzyme that is specific for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. So when catalase is added the breakdown...
