Aim: To investigate the effect of increasing surface area on the rate of reaction. Background information: Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical that consists of hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical formula is H O . It is a colourless, syrupy liquid that has a sharp odour. It is unstable. Peroxidase is an enzyme which catalyses the reaction. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants and animals. It is an aerobic (requires oxygen) bacteria. It …showed first 75 words of 1075 total…
