The experiment was to test the if the efficiency of the enzyme catalase was affected by the temperature of its surroundings, by putting hydrogen peroxide on chicken liver (which has the enzyme catalase) in different temperatures. The results of the experiment showed that in a cool environment (about 20℃), the reaction with catalase and hydrogen peroxide produced about 10 ml of water, a moderate amount of bubbles (compared to the other 2 samples), and released 3℃ of heat the first trial and 1℃ of heat the second trial. This could mean that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, because there is heat being released during the reaction. However, in the same experiment done in room temperature (about 24℃), there were much less bubbles, only 6 ml of water produced, and there was no change in the temperature. Lastly, the experiment done in a warm environment (30℃) showed much more change. Much more bubbles were produced than the other 2 experiments, 12 ml of water was produced and the temperature dropped 2℃. …show more content…
Both the amount of oxygen and the amount of water produced increased as the temperature increased. According to the data collected, the experiment done in 20℃ and 24℃ produced 10 ml and 6 ml of water, while the experiment done in 30℃ had 12 ml of water in its product. Obviously more water was made in the reaction in 30℃. Additionally, the experiments in the cool and room temperature surroundings had a moderate to not a lot of bubbles, meanwhile the experiment in 30℃ had much more bubbles, in other words it produced more
