that Affect the Rate of Reaction of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Emilio Lanza Introduction- In this experiment‚ the rate of reaction‚ calculated in kPa sec-1‚ of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be investigated to see how the change in concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the change in temperature affect the rate of reaction. The data will be collected by measuring the gas pressure. The product of Hydrogen Peroxide is oxygen in a gas state thus it is mandatory to use the

Background Information: Enzymes such as catalase are globular protein molecules with catalytic properties. A catalyst is a substrate which can alter the rate of reaction without itself undergoing any permanent change. As they are not changed

kind of role does hydrogen peroxide and a liver have in their chemical reaction? In the experiment‚ we saw they had a reaction‚ but completed further tests to determine whether they changed after the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is chemically changed into water and the liver is broken down in the reaction. In the experiment‚ a fresh piece of chicken liver was put into a test tube filled with 3% hydrogen peroxide. We knew a reaction was taking place because the hydrogen peroxide started to foam and

Purpose Understanding how catalase activity is affected by pH is the purpose of this experiment. Introduction Enzymes play an important role in daily life because of the chemical reactions. Almost chemical reactions require the presence of enzymes to promote the metabolic process. They are known as the incredibly efficient and highly specific biological catalysts. Most enzymes are protein with the ability to enhance the rate of reaction between molecules. To catalyze a reaction‚ the enzymes

Investigating the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. Introduction Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution‚ slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper. Catalase is a common enzyme found in all living organisms. Its functions include the conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially

The Effect Of Substrate Concentration On The Activity Of The Enzyme Catalase A Level Biology Project Aims This is an experiment to examine how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase
