CSEC Chemistry · January 2009 · Paper 2 · Question 1(b)(i)

In another set of experiments, students measured the volume of oxygen released at different times as the enzyme catalase decomposed hydrogen peroxide: 2H₂O₂ (catalase) → O₂ + 2H₂O. Table 1 contains the data collected.

Plot the TOTAL volume of oxygen given off against time, on the graph paper on page 7.
