Science Experiment

-Abstract: In this experiment the aim was to test the oxidation patterns of apples in different type of liquids and now it can be declared that oxidation is faster in vinegar, than any other liquid.

-Introduction: All of the people all around the globe thinking WHY do apples turn brown and what makes this happens.
Well that was our main aim to this experiment conducted.Me and my group wanted to find out exactly what are the factors that increase or even decrease the amount of oxidation in (peeled)pieces of apples.
This report presents the three liquids;vinegar,tap-water and milk each of which includes peeled pieces (43.00 g)of apples to discover the oxidation patterns in these three liquuids.

-Aim: Which liquid will make peeled pieces of apples oxidizing faster? (Tap-water, milk, vinegar)

-Hypothesis: I believe that the peeled pieces of apples will decay faster in vinegar because it contains more acidity, which helps the oxidizing process.

-Materials: * Vinegar(200 ml) * Tap-water(200 ml ) * Devondale milk(200 ml ) * Peeled pieces of apples(each weighing about 43.00 g );2 * Black marker (sharpie) * Sharp knife(adult supervision required) * 3 (200 ml) beakers * Weighing machine (to weigh apples) * Tweezers * Fridge

-Method: 1. Collect all the materials together (including; tap-water, apples, marker etc.) 2. Carefully pour 200 ml of tap-water, vinegar and milk into separate beakers 3. Get two granny smith apples and cut and weigh them on an electric scale so that each piece is approximately 43.00 g 4. Now peel the skin off the apple with a knife (or peeler) 5. Carefully

    In this series of laboratory experiments, my lab partner and I were to conduct an experiment about the oxidation rate of the enzyme peroxidase in the presence of its substrate guiacol. Also we used other substrates, such as hydroxylamine an enzyme inhibitor, to observe the weather the reaction rate was slowed down, sped up, or stopped reactions all together. These results were recorded by taking the materials in a test tube, then inserting them into a spectrophotometer to record the oxidation (intensity of color change from clear to reddish-brown) over a course of two minutes to observe color change. After all of the experiments that we ran we could conclude the enzyme oxidation rate (mmoles/min) depending on the amount of each product that was used in a single cubit test tube.…

    In the Penny Cleaning Lab, my hypothesis, which stated that the lemon juice would be the best at cleaning the penny since it is an acid and acids are particularly good at cleaning metallic substances, was indeed valid. First, we started out with 1mL solutions of all the substances in the test tray. We dipped the pH paper in each solution for about a second and recorded the pH level for each substance. Before starting, we noticed that all the pennies were in some shade of brown, which I predicted this to be copper oxide. In order to make things as efficient as possible, we soaked two pennies at a time for three minutes for each solution and penny. After taking out the first two pennies, which were soaked in liquified Bon Ami and Tapatio Hot…

    There were six sucrose solutions: 0.0 M (distilled water), 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, and 1.0 M. The dependent variable was the mass of the cores of apple tissue. Changes in the dependent variable were measured by weighing the mass of each set of apple cores before and after its submerging in sucrose solution. The initial mass was then subtracted from the final mass and divided by the initial mass to calculate the percent change of each set. Changes in the dependent variable were analyzed in the form of percent change of mass rather than change in mass in grams because each set of apple cylinders had a different initial weight, so calculating percent change helped standardize the data. The control of the experiment was the distilled water because it has a molarity of 0.0 M, meaning that no sucrose is added to it. Several variables were held constant. It was attempted to keep the size of each core of apple tissue constant. Other constants include the ruler and scale used to measure the apple cores, as well as the knife used to cut the…

    If you’ve ever left a cut up apple out for long, you’ll notice that after a while, it will turn brown. The reason for this is an enzyme named catechol oxidase, a ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center (Klabunde, Eicken, Sacchettini, & Krebs, 1998). In this experiment, we used two different chelators, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop the effects of catechol oxidase on potato cells by testing the change in absorbency over time. Our data supported our hypothesis that EDTA would have a greater change in absorbency over time than PTU.…

    Catechol Oxidase Lab

    Have you ever wondered why the inside of your apple turns brown if you leave it on the counter after taking a bite? This is because there is a compound within the apple called catechol which, when exposed to the air, becomes oxidized by the oxygen in the air and produces benzoquinone, which makes the apple appear brown (Andrew Clapper’s Online Journal, 2007). This chemical reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme catechol oxidase (Figure A.1). Enzymes are proteins in cells that speed up chemical reactions (Enzyme Procedure Guide, 2013). The catechol oxidase lowers the amount of energy needed in order for the catechol to be oxidized, which speeds the process up.…

    Catechol oxidase is found in animals and plants. Catechol oxidase is the enzyme that catalyzes the production of Ortho- quinone. This reaction produces Ortho- quinone, water, and browning of a potato when exposed to air. The purpose of this experiment was to observe the behavior of reaction rate when enzyme or substrate concentration is changed.…

    Vinegar Molarity

    This experiment was done to determine the molarity of acetic acid in vinegar. The acetic acid in vinegar was titrated with a strong base sodium hydroxide to determine the equivalence point of this chemical reaction. The indicator phenolphthalein was used because the moment it changes color is on the basic side of the pH scale. To insure the experiment was done with the most accuracy, the two conductors of this experiment took three different trials to attempt to reach the best endpoint possible between the two. After punching in numbers and calculating results through a stoichiometry equation, the resultant molarity was .960M, but the actual molarity was .845M. We found that it took 9.60 mL of NaOH to…

    After placing 10 drops of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar substrate in the different forms of avocado, the results were interesting. The ground and reused enzyme had the most evident reactions. It also shows me that enzymes can be reused, because of the reaction rating. Enzymes can be affected by temperatures because the regular enzyme reaction is low. Also enzymes aren’t affected by pH because it had a low reaction. Enzymes are specific because different types of enzymes work for different substrates.…

    I grabbed some paper and a pen, turned on some music, and began the observation process. I started just by writing everything I could see on the outside of the apple. The skin of the apple had many different shades of red as well as a yellow patch on one side. It was covered in dark red stripes that looked like quick paint strokes from a tiny paintbrush. Little white and yellow dots gave it the appearance of a speckled egg. I then noticed the apple’s shape as well as the lumps, dents, and scratches on its skin. It was slightly cold to the touch, as well as smooth and dry. I was tempted to go ahead and cut the apple open but I wanted to make sure I…
