Title: The Effect of Adjusted Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide on the change in reaction rate of liver catalase.
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis: If the concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide is changed then there would be no change in the reaction rate.
Alternate Hypothesis 1: I there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction rate of the liver catalase will increase.
Alternate Hypothesis 2: If there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction rate of the liver catalase will decrease.
IV: concentration of hydrogen peroxide
DV: reaction rate of liver catalase
Constants: Temperature- temperature of the room/solutions
Area- the place where the experiment took place is the same

Materials List:

liver solution hydrogen peroxide 25% diluted hydrogen peroxide 50% diluted hydrogen peroxide 100% diluted distilled water
(2) graduated cylinders 10 mL
(4) 250 Beaker
(1) stopwatch
(1) 250 mL flask
(1) tubing
(1) Shallow pan for water bath
(1) glass dropper tube
(1) stopper
(1) glass tube with opening at the bottom

Procedures:

1. Fill a shallow pan 3/4th full of water and place the glass tube into the water and make sure that the tube is covered with water and has no air bubbles.
2. Obtain 10 mL hydrogen peroxide and dilute it by adding 30 mL of distilled water. Place solution in a beaker and label as “25% Hydrogen Peroxide.”
3. Obtain 20 mL hydrogen peroxide and dilute it by adding 20 mL of distilled water. Place solution in a beaker and label as “1.5% Hydrogen Peroxide.”
4. Obtain 40 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide, place solution in a beaker and label as “ 3 % Hydrogen Peroxide.”50
5. Obtain 100 mL of liver solution, place solution in a beaker and label as “liver solution”.
6. Measure 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide. (diluted with water by 25, 75, 50 percent)
7. In the other graduated cylinder measure 10 mL of the liver solution.
8. Put the

    The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver, ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm, and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation, this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was, the less oxygen gas collected. Controlling a number of factors which include human error, temperature change, pH levels, substrate concentrations and ensuring a controlled experimental environment will work to increase the accuracy of the experiment.…

    This investigation examined what would happen to the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if the concentration of substrate changed. We hypothesized that if the concentration increased, then the reaction rate would also increase. To test our question, we varied a combination of substrate and buffer, totaling 6mL, with a constant amount of 2 drops of catalyst. The enzyme catalyst, peroxidase, increased the rate of the reaction. The results of our experiment can be found by comparing the reaction rates for each trial. These rates are actually the slopes of the lines that were graphed during each reaction. The trend of data…
