During a Bio lab we were working with catalase and a diluted peroxide 
solution.  we wre supposed to put 1 ml of catalase in the flask and 100 ml 
of the solution which consisted of 15 ml 3% peroxide and 85 ml water.  
Instead we put 3 ml catalase and 125 ml peroxide with no water.  Why was 
the reaction so great that in almost reached to room of the room?  What 
made it happen.  I told me teacher it was beacuse more peroxide and more 
catalse but she said that wasnt true.  CAn you help me?
