How Does Temperature Affect Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction on Potatoes?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on an experiment investigating the effect of temperature on the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potatoes, specifically measuring the amount of froth produced. The experiment is part of an Internal Scientific Assessment (ISA) related to the "How Science Works" curriculum. Participants are seeking guidance on potential questions that may arise during the ISA process. Key variables include temperature and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide used in the reaction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of enzyme activity and catalysis
  • Knowledge of hydrogen peroxide as a substrate
  • Familiarity with experimental design and data analysis
  • Basic principles of temperature effects on chemical reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of catalase in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide
  • Learn about the Arrhenius equation and its application to reaction rates
  • Investigate methods for measuring gas production in enzymatic reactions
  • Explore the impact of varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on reaction outcomes
USEFUL FOR

Students conducting scientific experiments, educators teaching the "How Science Works" curriculum, and anyone interested in enzymatic reactions and their variables.

'''URGENT''' Hydrogen Peroxide on Potatoes ISA

Basically I have done an experiment to find out the effect of hydrogen peroxide on potatoes and to see if the temperature affects the amount of froth produced. I have done the graph and all other things now it is just the ISA.

I was wondering if anyone had done the ISA and could tell me some of the questions that will appear

Oh and BTW, for those who don't know ISA's are basically the How Science Works part of Science
