A laboratory technician investigates how temperature affects the rate of a reaction using catalase and hydrogen peroxide. At each temperature, the technician carries out three trials and records the volume of oxygen produced in 60 s.
Which instruction should be included so that temperature is the only factor affecting the reaction rate?
Start the 60 s timing when oxygen is first produced
Use the fastest of the three trials at each temperature
Increase the volume of catalase as the temperature increases
Use hydrogen peroxide of the same concentration in every trial
