Percobaan Reaksi Hidrogen Peroksida dengan Katalase

Penulis: Jancolin Yani Pendahuluan

Seperti yang kita tahu bahwa hydrogen peroksida yang dihasilkan oleh sel-sel didalam tubuh kita akibat metabolism sel akan terpecah menjadi gas hydrogen dan oksigen dengan adanya keberadaan enzim katalase.

Zat hydrogen peroksida sangat berbahaya bagi tubuh dalam kuantitas yang banyak oleh karena itu harus dipecah dan dikeluarkan. Sebagian besar zat hydrogen peroksida dipecah di dalam hati dan sebagian kecil di dalam sel-sel tubuh kita yang lainnya.

Reaksi pemecahan hydrogen peroksida secara sedehana:

H2O2 -> H2O + 1/2O2 + 23.45 kcal/mol

Pembahasan H2O2
Hidrogen peroksida dengan rumus kimia H2O2 ditemukan oleh Louis Jacques Thenard di tahun 1818. Senyawa ini merupakan bahan kimia anorganik yang memiliki sifat oksidator kuat. Bahan baku pembuatan hidrogen peroksida adalah gas hidrogen (H2) dan gas oksigen (O2). Teknologi yang banyak digunakan di dalam industri hidrogen peroksida adalah auto oksidasi Anthraquinone.
H2O2 tidak berwarna, berbau khas agak keasaman, dan larut dengan baik dalam air. Dalam kondisi normal (kondisi ambient), hidrogen peroksida sangat stabil dengan laju dekomposisi kira-kira kurang dari 1% per tahun.
Mayoritas pengunaan hidrogen peroksida adalah dengan memanfaatkan dan merekayasa reaksi dekomposisinya, yang intinya menghasilkan oksigen. Pada tahap produksi hidrogen peroksida, bahan stabilizer kimia biasanya ditambahkan dengan maksud untuk menghambat laju dekomposisinya. Termasuk dekomposisi yang terjadi selama produk hidrogen peroksida dalam penyimpanan. Selain menghasilkan oksigen, reaksi dekomposisi hidrogen peroksida juga menghasilkan air (H2O) dan panas. Reaksi dekomposisi eksotermis yang terjadi adalah sebagai berikut:
H2O2 -> H2O + 1/2O2 + 23.45 kcal/mol
Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi reaksi dekomposisi hidrogen peroksida adalah:
1. Bahan organik tertentu, seperti alkohol dan bensin
2.

    We placed the zinc inside the beaker and slowly poured the hydrochloric acid into the beaker. As soon as the acid entered the beaker, there was a sizzling sound and bubbles started to form as we add more of the substance in. When the bubbles were forming, we could see a steam of gas coming out of the beaker. After 10 minutes, we noticed bits of zinc were floating on top of the hydrochloric acid and lining the beaker. I lifted the beaker and felt the bottom and it felt warm, which meant the reaction was still happening. After 20 minutes, we added water into the zinc and hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction and we observed a slight cloudy colour (still clear) forming as we slowly pour the water in the beaker.…

    The Awakening, by Kate Chopin, was published in 1899 and explored the life of a young married woman named Edna Pontellier. Throughout the novel, Edna attempts to discover her true self and her place in the world by becoming economically independent from her husband and seeking extramarital relationships with young, attractive men. There are multiple opinions about the impact of her awakening and the meaning behind Edna Pontellier’s suicide. Chopin’s goals in the novel were to emphasize the importance of Edna’s rebellion against traditional roles under the prejudice of society; the suicide at the end is the pinnacle of her character and the moment in which she becomes entirely free.…
