I will be watching to see what happens to the speed of reaction when the temperature rises. I will also be looking at when the catalase enzymes perform the reaction the quickest and when the catalase performing the reaction slowest (or maybe not at all). Before I took my preliminary experiment I decided to take my experiment at these temperatures 0?C, 10?C, 20?C, 30?C, 40?C, 50?C, 60?C, 70?C and 80?C. I will find out in my preliminary experiment whether to use a test tube or a boiling tube. I will use 1g of liver and 2ml of Hydrogen Peroxide per each test tube. I will heat the experiment using a Bunsen burner and a thermometer to tell me when it is at the temperature I want....
