pH levels can also significantly impact the rate of reaction of amylase. Amylase functions optimally at specific pH levels, so a change in pH can alter the enzyme's activity and affect the rate of reaction.
Altering the pH might cause the enzymes involved in a reaction to be denatured. When enzymes are denatured, they do not function properly and the rate of the reaction either slows down or completely stops.
pH and temperature
The data suggests that the enzyme-catalyzed reaction has an optimum pH level at which it functions most efficiently. This pH level is where the enzyme's activity and stability are maximized, leading to the highest reaction rate. Deviating from this optimum pH can result in decreased enzyme activity and potentially denaturation.
Three things that can alter the rate of an enzyme are; temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Enzymes will have an optimal temperature and pH, at which they will have the greatest rate. Below or above these optimum conditions, the rate will be slower.

The rate of a reaction can change significantly with pH. In general, for every unit change in pH, the reaction rate can change by a factor of 10. So, if the pH changes from 6.5 to 2, the rate of the reaction could potentially increase by a factor of 10^4 = 10,000.

pH and temperature
It is irrelevant what the independent variable is, whenever you work out rate of reaction you also divide 1 by the time in seconds. For example if it took 100 seconds your rate would be 0.01s-1.

An increase in temperature can increase the enzymatic reactions if it is not too hot and also if the pH is within the idea range it can speed up the reaction. The pH level is usually around 7 for most enzymes.
Experimental conditions that could be varied in an attempt to affect the rate of the clock reaction include changing the concentration of reactants, temperature of the reaction, presence of a catalyst, pH of the solution, or the ratio of reactants. By altering these factors, the reaction rate can be manipulated and studied to understand the mechanism of the reaction.
To investigate the effect of pH on the enzymatic reaction with hydrogen peroxide and spinach leaf extract, set up multiple test tubes with varying pH solutions. Then, add equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide and spinach leaf extract to each test tube and observe the rate of reaction. Measure the rate of reaction by recording the production of gas or color change over a set period of time. This will provide insights into how pH influences the enzyme activity in the reaction.
The optimum pH is that at which the reaction takes place quickest. A change in pH above or below this optimum denatures the enzyme (ultimately breaking hydrogen bonds that maintain the tertiary structure). This means that the rate is reduced as you change the pH, but not stopped totally as only some of the enzyme molecules are denatured.
