1- A student investigated the activity of catalase by measuring the release of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. The reaction occurs as follows.
2 H2O2
2 H2O + O2
The student used a solution of catalase that was mixed with a 5% hydrogen peroxide solution and placed in the apparatus shown in Fig. 3.1. The total volume of gas collected was recorded every 15 seconds. The results are shown in Fig. 3.2.

(a) Explain why the total volume of gas collected after 210 seconds remains constant.
Catalase and hydrogen peroxide were kept separately at 10 °C for 30 minutes before they were added together. The reaction mixture was then kept at 10 °C.
(b) Sketch, on Fig. 3.2, the results you would expect when the experiment was repeated at 10 °C.

What is the effect of the concentration of a hydrogen peroxide solution on catalase activity?
The topic of this lab is on biochemistry.This experiment was conducted to show how cells prevent the build of hydrogen peroxide in tissues. My group consisted of Lekha, Ruth, and Jason. There were used two different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide through this experiment , 1.5% and 3%. By testing two different types it is easier to understand how the H2O2 and catalase react with one another. To do this both the yeast, which was our catalase, and H2O2 were mixed together in a beaker. Each concentration was tested out twice for more accurate results . 1.5% concentrated H2O2 had an average reaction rate of 10.5 seconds while 3% concentrated H2O2 had an average reaction rate of 7.5 seconds. From this experiment we learned that by increasing the concentration of H2O2 and chemically combining it with a catalase it will speed up the reaction. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions . The independent variable in this experiment was the concentration of the H2O2. Some key vocabulary words are Catalase, enzyme, hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2), and concentration.
This experiment is designed to analyze how the enzyme catalase activity is affected by the pH levels. The experiment has also been designed to outline all of the directions and the ways by which the observation can be made clearly and accurately. Yeast, will be used as the enzyme and hydrogen peroxide will be used as a substrate. This experiment will be used to determine the effects of the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide versus the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase.
