The enzyme catalase catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the exothermic reaction

H2O2(aq)→H2O(l)+1/2O2(g)

Estimate the minimum detectable concentration of H2O2 if a small amount of catalase (solid) is added to a hydrogen peroxide solution in a calorimeter. Assume that a temperature rise of 0.02°C can be distinguished. You can use a heat capacity of 4.184 kJ kg-1 K-1 for the hydrogen peroxide solution.
