... temperatures. I will then have to have a reaction that can be controlled to measure the efficiency and speed of the reaction. Catalase reacts violently with hydrogen peroxide, therefore to get a reaction I shall put the liver containing catalase into some hydrogen peroxide. The reaction that takes place creates gas and another liquid. Once I have timed the reaction at the vast variety of temperatures I can then establish at which temperature the enzyme catalase works best at. # The first part of the experiment involves cutting the pieces of liver to the same sizes so that there would be equal amounts of catalase in each. Each piece will be about 1.1 grams. That is the chosen weight that I have chosen since it is a reasonable mass. Then I will create 2 water baths, one for hot temperatures, and one for cold. The cold one will consist on water ...
