The Effect of Substrate Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalase
An experiment was carried out to discover if there was a relation between Hydrogen Peroxide and the enzyme Catalase.
The experiment was set up as said in the method and carried out as accurately as possible. During the reaction the Hydrogen Peroxide was broken down to water and Oxygen. (H2O2 -->H2O + O2). It was broken down by the enzyme catalase. A catalyst (enzyme) lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
Investigate how the varying concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide affects the rate of reaction. The independent variable will be the Hydrogen peroxide and the dependent variable will be the volume of gas that will be measured.
· Set up the equipment as it was shown in the diagram.
· Use the 100% Hydrogen Peroxide and to produce differen
