Introduction In the investigation we will be finding out how the reaction between Potatoes catalyse on Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can study the effect of concentration on rate of reaction. The potato is the enzyme that will decompose the chemical Hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous chemical, which is broken down in to water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). Aim Investigating the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by using potato catalyse, which is a biological catalyst. Using concentration for the experiment, to see whether this has any effect on the rate of reaction. Prediction That the more dilute the hydrogen peroxide becomes, the rate of reaction will decrease. This is because as there is a decrease in hydrogen peroxide particles and an increase of water the hydrogen peroxide are more further apart from the potato catalyse; this decreases the collision of the hydrogen particles. Making it difficult... Posted by: Carlos Hernandez Limited version - please login or register to view the entire paper. |
