An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature In the reaction between amylase and starch Aim To investigate how varying the temperature of the reaction between amylase and starch affects the rate of reaction. Prediction I predict that as the temperature of the reaction increases, so will the rate of chemical reaction. Scientific knowledge: As the temperature increases, the particles will have more energy to move around faster, resulting in more collisions which will lead to chemical reactions. This is linked to the collision theory, and as the temperature increases in this experiment, more collisions will occur between the amylase and starch, which should result in more starch being broken down into glucose. Method I will be heating up the starch and amylase separately to the first chosen temperature in a water bath so that the test tube is not directly heated. I will heat them with a Bunsen burner and check the temperature with a thermometer. When at...
