Preliminary Rate of reaction for liver and hydrogen peroxide Aim: My aim is to investigate how temperature will affect the rate of reaction between an amount of liver and hydrogen peroxide. Also I should be aware of other variables such as time, mount of liver and amount of the chemical. Hypothesis and Background research: The catalyse in this experiment is a very effective catalyse. One of this catalyse can decompose 40,000 molecules of hydrogen peroxide in a second. However, unlike chemical catalysts, which work under a wide range of conditions, enzymes are only able to work under limited conditions. Enzymes work best at body temperature once temperatures increase past this temperature the enzymes start to denature and fail to work efficiently. There are ways to alter particle contact and therefore the reaction rate. One of them is temperature. When temperature increases, the particles move faster resulting in an increase rate of reaction....
