Deepak Chandi AT1 PLANNING Aim: The aim of this investigation is to see how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide effects the reaction between itself and catalyse (enzyme) to produce water and oxygen. Catalyse + 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 An enzyme is any one of many specialized organic substances, composed of polymers of amino acids, that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms. Method: The equipment that you would require for this experimentation is; * Test tube * Delivering tube * 2 measuring cylinders * Pestle and mortar * Hydrogen peroxide * Water * Container * Stopwatch * Celery * Clamp and retort stand * Here is the step-by-step process of the experiment; 1. I will measure out the required volume of concentrate (hydrogen peroxide). 2. I will weigh 1g of celery on the scales and use the pestle and mortar to grind it down to a sludgy liquid form. 3. I will add the celery to...
