Aim: To investigate the effect of changing conditions on the rate of reaction between Catalase (Celery) acid and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Method: I will first set up the experiment as shown in the diagram. To make it safe I will keep everything tidy and then get out the safety equipment (goggles, apron). Then I will get the chemicals prepared in the right measurements, so I will not have to do that every time. To get catalase you have to use a pestle and mortar to grind up the celery with water to make a solution. Also I will prepare one large amount of the enzyme from the celery to make sure it is all the same. As soon as I mix the catalase and H202 I will put the cork connected to the delivery tube in the boiling tube and start the timer. I will make observations and after 50-70 seconds....
