Answer 2

please help

Answer 3

What reaction is happening?

Answer 4

i dont know i dont think that we need to know about that for sure from what we learnt in lesson

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

so what is it?

Answer 8

idk, find that out. i have no idea

Answer 9

k

Answer 10

2H2O2-->2H2O + O2

Answer 11

It's fine i found out the answer.

Answer 12

that reaction only involves hydrogen peroxide - its decomposition. i'm not sure that applies directly to the question as it's asking it's reaction with different chemicals.

for example potato and apples are mostly starch, while liver has a huge diversity of moelcuels

Answer 13

okay good, what was it?

Answer 14

Liver contains more of the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide. Liver contains more because it detoxifies substances in the body. A larger amount of catalase lowers the activation energy, therefore speeds up the rate of reaction. The potato contains less of the enzyme catalase, therefore requires more activation energy, slowing down the rate of reaction.

Answer 15

oh okay, i see what you meant the reaction was the same. good stuff

Answer 16

thanks
