Chemical reactions are the basis of life on earth. As human beings‚ we are little more than the naturally abundant elements of which we are composed and the reactions between the compounds that they form. After all‚ how could life exist without water? Oxygen transport in a body the size of the human body would be impossible without the aid of a complex like hemoglobin. Besides being the basis of many of life’s intangibles‚ chemistry also plays an active role in our daily lives. Take for instance

What are Enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that quicken chemical reaction in our body. They are found in our digestive system‚ in the stomach mostly. They are there to speed up the process of breaking down food into molecules that provide nutrients to the body. Enzymes are made up of amino acids. The Digestive System: Many people believe that when you eat a meal it drops into a pool of stomach acid‚ and then it is broken down as it goes into the small intestine to have nutrients taken out‚ and then

There are many different ingredients in a kitchen that causes a chemical reaction with baking soda. This experiment was designed to test 4 kitchen ingredients(Omega oil‚ water‚ lemon juice‚ and vinegar) mixed with baking soda‚ to see which one will cause a balloon to expand. It was hypothesized that baking soda mixed with lemon juice and vinegar would cause the balloon to expand. Using these ideals the experiment was completed and the data was recorded. It was decided that the hypothesis was correct

Investigating Chemical Equilibrium Date: 30th April 2013 Due Date: 15th May 2013 Prepared For: M. Seraji Prepared by: Andrea Odunze Abstract Many reactions proceed to a state of equilibrium. A chemical reaction at equilibrium‚ where the rates of the forward reaction and reverse reaction are equal‚ looks like this: A + B AB There are three factors‚ according to Le Chatelier’s principle‚ that affect the equilibrium position and equilibrium constant. These are the concentrations of products

Step 7: Use equation 11.2 to convert the client’s body weight in pounds to kilograms. pounds (lb) ÷ 2.2046 = kilograms (kg) (11.2) body weight (lb) = 181 lb 181 lb 2.2046 = kilograms (kg) body weight (kg) = 82 kg Step 8: Use equation 11.6 (from [2]) to determine the predicted VO2 max score in ml . kg-1 . min-1. VO2 max (ml . kg-1 . min-1) = [(10.8 x W) BW] + 7 ÷ (11.6) from step 6‚ predicted maximal work rate (W) = 192 W body (kg) = 82 kg VO2

Does concentration affect the speed of chemical reactions? Problem: We are proving that “concentration” (the amount of reactants) is one of the things that can affect the speed of chemical reactions. We are also finding a way to keep the lid on the film canister for the longest period of time. We are using vinegar and water as reactants and changing the concentration every time to see the difference between the rates of reactions speed. Materials: - 1 graduated cylinder - 1 film canister
