hydrogen peroxide and potatos

How does the concentration of hydrogen peroxide depend on the amount of gas released from potato chips?

PLAN.
The apparatus and the uses for each piece that were used for this experiment are listed below:
 Measuring cylinder, this was used to measure the hydrogen peroxide. This had a range of 0 to 100 ml and was measured in 1ml units.
 Safety goggles, these were used to protect our eyes when handling the hydrogen peroxide.
 Conical flask, we used this to put the hydrogen peroxide in and then add the potato chips to do the experiment. This had a range of 0 to 75 ml and was measured in 25ml units.
 Bung and tube, the bung was put in the top of the conical flask to stop any gas going anywhere but the tube, the tube was connected to the measuring syringe.
 Measuring syringe, this was used to measure the gas once it had been released. This had a range of 0 to 200 ml and was measured in 1ml units.
 Clamp and clamp stand, we used this...
