Effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of oxygen given off in the reaction between Hydrogen peroxide and catalase Aim: To find out how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide changes the amount of oxygen produced when added to a potato chip. Background Information: There are many ways in which the amount of oxygen produced could be altered these include: the temperature of the hydrogen peroxide, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, surface area of the potato chip or the amount of each substance used. I have chosen to use the temperature of hydrogen peroxide as my experiment. Concentration of hydrogen peroxide: if the particles are in low concentrations there will be few collisions and as the concentration increases so does the chance of collisions. Hydrogen peroxide is also a very dangerous and should be handled with care. It looks like water but is a bleach. It is broken down by a catalyst into water and...
