Question 56

A biochemist is studying the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase. In one trial, she mixes 8 cm3 of hydrogen peroxide solution with 2 cm3 of distilled water instead of 2 cm3 of catalase solution, and measures the volume of oxygen gas produced over a 10-minute period.

Explain the purpose of including the trial with distilled water in this investigation.
