Enzymes Prediction I think that as the surface area of a piece of potato is increased, the number of bubbles released will increase due to the higher rate of reaction creating more gas. Scientific information For the experiment we were performing there was 3 possible methods which could have been used. Inverted Measuring Cylinder Advantages : A very accurate volume of how much gas has been released can be measured. Disadvantages : It is very hard for a cylinder to be placed like this with the amount of water required in it. Gas syringe This is the best method available. Advantages : Accurate volume can also be recorded, there is a frictionless movement of the plunger meaning no resistance is added to the amount of gas needed to move the plunger. Disadvantages : this method is very expensive as the syringe is made out of glass, the syringe has to be read accurately every 5 or 10...
