You can increase the rate of catalase reaction by increasing the surface area of the liver. This can be achieved by cutting the liver into smaller pieces or blending it into a paste. Breaking the liver into smaller pieces exposes more catalase enzymes to the substrate, leading to an increase in the rate of the reaction.
To increase the rate of catalpas reaction by using the same liver is simple. It is the biological catalyst that alters the rate of reaction that changes itself.

If another substance binds to the active site of catalase, it could potentially inhibit or slow down the enzyme's activity. This could decrease the rate of reaction catalyzed by catalase, as the binding of the other substance may interfere with the enzyme's ability to bind with its substrate and convert it to products.
Catalase is an enzyme which breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Catalase serves as a protein catalyst to hydrogen peroxide. Try pouring about 2 mL of H202 in a test tube, and placing a small peice of a leaf of a plant in the test tube. Rate the reaction on a reacitvity scale of 0-5, with 0 being no reaction and 5 being a vigerous reaction, and you will obtain a brief idea of how much catalase is in the leaves of plants.
The catalase enzyme typically has a high turnover rate, meaning it can catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide molecules quickly. It can convert millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen per second. The rate of catalase activity can be affected by factors like substrate concentration, temperature, and pH.
The rate of a forward reaction in a chemical reaction is influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area, and the presence of catalysts. These factors can affect how quickly the reactants are converted into products.
rate of reaction depends on the amount of reactants
Create a control group by placing a measured amount of catalase solution in a test tube. Prepare test tubes with catalase solution at varying temperatures (e.g., using water baths at different temperatures). Add a known amount of hydrogen peroxide to each test tube and measure the rate of oxygen gas production as the catalase breaks down the hydrogen peroxide. Record and compare the rate of reaction at different temperatures to determine the effect of temperature on catalase activity.
If your question is "What affects catalyst performance?" (i.e. what stops them from working) then there are 2 main things: Atoms permanently bonded to the surface, blocking it, and so that stops other reactant molecules from sticking to it (catalyst poisoning) Catalyst sintering: This can be seen on high temperature solid metal catalysts, where there is a gradual loss of surface area for reactant molecules to stick to as a result of the individual catalyst surface atoms combining together (due to the heat) to make one big blob of lower surface area
