Catalase investigation Aim: How catalase affects the speed of breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts in a way like protein molecules and also they make the rate of reaction increase that occurs in a living organism. "A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction" while also it doesn't get used up in this process and it is found in our liver. In this experiment the catalyse which is hydrogen peroxide can be used again and again in order for the increase of "rate of conversions of the reactants into products". For this experiment the equation to describe this reaction is: Hydrogen Peroxide Water + Oxygen Next I looked at how the following factors within the experiments affect the rate of reaction/ volume of oxygen evolved in a Catalyse Reaction: Concentration: In order for the reaction to become more faster the concentration in the solution (in this occasion hydrogen peroxide...
