The temperature of the liver
2. The surface area of the liver
3. The pH of the hydrogen peroxide
4. The concentration of the enzymes

The two variables I am going to look at are temperature and surface area.

Hypothesis: I think that when we test the surface area the bigger the
surface area the quicker the reaction will be. This is because there are more
liver particles that will be exposed to the hydrogen peroxide, therefore the
liver that is ground up will be the quickest reaction.

For temperature it will be the temperature that is forty degrees Celsius
because the enzymes in the liver will not exist after the temperature goes over
forty degrees Celsius. I know this due to previous experiments that I have
carried out. I think the rate of decomposition will double every ten degrees
Celsius that the liver is warmed up, but when the liver goes over forty degrees
Celsius, the rate of decomposition will slow down.

Therefore my hypothesis is that the rate of ...
