Once Upon a Time by Gabriel OkaraOnce upon a time‚ son‚they used to laugh with their heartsand laugh with their eyes:but now they only laugh with their teeth‚while their ice-block-cold eyessearch behind my shadow.There was a time indeedthey used to shake hands with their hearts:but that’s gone‚ son.Now they shake hands without heartswhile their left hands searchmy empty pockets.‘Feel at home!’ ‘Come again’:they say‚ and when I comeagain and feelat home‚ once‚ twice‚there will be no thrice-for then

Iodine Isotopes are the atoms that have in their nucleus an atomic number corresponding to the chemical behavior of that element. Since isotopes have the same number of protons‚ they all have identical chemical behavior. But‚ however‚ since their neutron numbers are different the isotopes of the same element may have different radioactivity. An isotope that is radioactive is called a radioisotope like iodine‚ which is important in our health. In radioactivity‚ the nucleus of an unstable isotope

Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used

concentration of the hydrochloric acid and the rate of a reaction. To find this out I will react different concentration of hydrochloric acid and magnesium‚ from there I will monitor the gas (hydrogen) produced and analyse the results. Prediction: I predict the higher the molarity of the hydrochloric acid the faster the rate of reaction therefore the quicker the gas will be produced in the specific time interval. Overview of the experiment: In this reaction two substances will be present in the

Reaction Rate Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of reaction‚ in this case sodium thiosulphate and acid. Scientific Background For a reaction to occur‚ the particles of the reactants must be colliding with each other with enough energy‚ the amount of energy needed for the reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is altered by temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area of and the pressure on the reactants. Stirring the reactants also increases

was to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch

reaction rates and concentration (research paper) By katie prestage what are reaction rates? The rate of reaction is the speed in which a reaction takes place. This can be measured by the rate in which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate a product is created. If a reaction has a low rate‚ it means that the particles are combining at a slow speed. If the rate is high‚ it means that the particles are coming together at a fast speed. For example‚ the rusting of iron through oxidation has a slow

An Investigation on the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase on the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Plan Aim: To investigate the rate of the effect of Catalase on hydrogen peroxide. Introduction This investigation will be carried out to investigate the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase on the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up the rate of reaction without being used up during the reaction‚ which take place in living organisms. They do this by

The Effect of pH on Enzymatic Reaction Rate Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of
