Investigating the effect of copper sulphate on the rate of reaction of the break down of hydrogen peroxide by catalase. Aim: To investigate the effect of copper sulphate on the rate of reaction of the break down of hydrogen peroxide by catalase. Variables: The variables that I can investigate in my preliminary work are:> Surface area and volume of potato> Volume of Hydrogen Peroxide> Volume of copper sulphate The first variable will involve me cutting different sized pieces of potatoes. The reason for using different surface areas is that this will determine the number of active sites, for the substrates to react in. The greater the surface area of the potato the greater the number of active sites. A larger number of active sites give more opportunity for substrates to react, increasing the rate of reaction. With the second variable I will use different volumes of hydrogen peroxide most likely in gaps of...
