You are designing an experiment to test the reaction of potato samples with varying amounts of surface area with equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide. In your experiment, you have two (2) small test tubes, labeled A and B respectively and each filled with 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. A 1 cm3 cube of potato will be placed into Test Tube A. In Test Tube B, the same volume of potato (1 cm3) will be placed into this test tube, but this cube of potato will be cut into 8 pieces before being dropped into Test Tube B.

Question

You are designing an experiment to test the reaction of potato samples with varying amounts of surface area with equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide. In your experiment, you have two (2) small test tubes, labeled A and B respectively and each filled with 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide. A 1 cm3 cube of potato will be placed into Test Tube A. In Test Tube B, the same volume of potato (1 cm3) will be placed into this test tube, but this cube of potato will be cut into 8 pieces before being dropped into Test Tube B. After 5 minutes, which of the test tubes do you predict will show a greater amount of chemical reaction (the releasing of oxygen gas as seen through fizzing) between the potato sample containing the enzyme catalase and the hydrogen peroxide? Why?
