concentration on the reaction between Catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts (a substance that increases or decreases the rate of a reaction) 2. Enzymes bind to a molecule called a substrate‚ converting it into a product. Nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in a biological cell need enzymes to make them occur. Enzymes like all catalysts lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to take place3. They dramatically speed up the rate at which

and neutralise stomach acid. Planning Aim To determine how the surface area of the tablets affects the rate of the reaction. To determine which form of tablets gives the biggest surface area resulting in the fastest reaction rate. Investigation question: What is the relationship between the total surface area of the tablets and the rate of the reaction? Hypothesis: The rate of reaction will be the fastest when the tablets crushed into powder as there is a bigger total surface area resulting

will increase the speed of reaction as the greater the surface of the solid reactants‚ the more particles are required to expose and ‘cover’ the capacity of the solid. Increased surface area results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles. Since the collisions become more frequent and abundant‚ the rate of reaction increases. Aim The aim of the experiment is to see if a greater surface area of a dissolvable tablet creates a faster or slower reaction Independent Variable

investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

How reaction rate varies with sodium thiosulphate concentration Background information Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid are both colourless liquids‚ when the two reactants are reacted together they produce sulphur. The sulphur that is produced from the reaction changes the solution to yellow and cloudy‚ this is a precipitation reaction‚ where a two solutions react and a solid forms in the solution‚ the solid is said to precipitate out. Some reactions will occur quickly such as fireworks

JULIA SELORMEY BIO 111 Iodine Description: Is a trace mineral that your body uses in small amounts to synthesize thyroid hormones that are necessary for regulating the body growth‚ development‚ metabolism and body temperature. Most of the iodine in the body is found in the thyroid gland‚ but is found also in the blood and muscles. The body contains approximately 20 to 30 mg of iodine which is mostly stored in the thyroid gland located in front of the neck. Food sources: Milk is the major

1.0 Introduction According to (Baillie et al.‚ p. 307; Palmer‚ p. 19) “A clock is an instrument used to indicate‚ keep‚ and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch‚ Northern French‚ and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.” Design and accuracy of clocks have evolved along with progression of technology and industry and even though their main

Concentration vs Rate of reaction Brandon Introduction A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction will occur. Heat‚ concentration of a chemical‚ Surface area or a catalyst‚ will affect the rate of reaction. The concentration of a chemical will speed up of the reaction because the reactant particles have become more crowded therefore increasing the chance of productive collisions. In this practical the chemicals will be Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid which will produce
