Hydrogen peroxide has an acidic pH which will break down into water which has a neutral pH. This may effect the enzyme action as many enzymes work faster in a neutral environment, the only control over this is the fact that it will happen in each test and to consider its effect at the end of the experiment. I will need to use the same potato and cut a fresh chip at each stage of …showed first 75 words of 521 total…

r = 5mm
d = 10mm
l = 40mm

New surface area exposed by each cut = 157.1mm2
2pr2 + 2rl (+2pr2) (+2pr2)....
1st chip formula = 2pr2 + 2rl = 2p25+400 = 1414mm2
2nd chip formula = 1st chip surface area + 2pr2 = 1414mm2 + 157.1= 1571 mm2
3rd chip formula = 2nd chip surface area + 2pr2 = 1571+ 157.1 = 1728 mm2
4th chip formula = 3rd chip surface area + 2pr2 = 1728 + 157.1 = 1885 mm2
5th chip formula = 4th chip surface area + 2pr2 = 1885 + 157.1 = 2042 mm2
6th chip formula = 5th chip surface
