Method

  • First, on a tile, add a drop of iodine solution to each well
  • Add 2cm of a pH buffer solution into a test tube
  • Fill another test tube with starch solution and another will amylase
  • Then place all 3 test tubes into a water bath at 25C and wait a few minutes for them to reach this temperature.
  • Then add the amylase into the test tube buffer and then the starch into the same test tube and start timing immediately
  • Then add a drop of the solution onto the a well of the tile
  • Repeat every 30 seconds until solution doesn’t turn blue-black
  • Calculate rate of reaction
  • Repeat with different pH valued buffers
