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

Heats of Reaction Lab Report Purpose: To measure the heats of reaction for three related exothermic reactions and to verify Hess’s Law of Heat Summation. NaOH(s) ( Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ΔH = -10.6kcal/mol NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ( H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -23.9kcal/mol Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ( H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -13.3kcal/mol Background: Energy changes occur in all chemical reactions; energy is either absorbed or released. If energy is released in

Introduction “The Enzyme Reaction” An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst‚ which brings out a biochemical reaction. A Catalase enzyme‚ the enzyme tested in this experiment‚ is found in almost all living organisms that are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable

element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered. Attempting to create a diagram of the ecological cycle of copper must require knowledge about copper’s chemical cycle first‚ which may then allow for the development of possible solutions to copper pollution.

Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Emilio Lanza Introduction- In this experiment‚ the rate of reaction‚ calculated in kPa sec-1‚ of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be investigated to see how the change in concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the change in temperature affect the rate of reaction. The data will be collected by measuring the gas pressure. The product of Hydrogen Peroxide is oxygen in a gas state thus

DISCUSSION In this experiment‚ we will extract plasmid DNA that carrying pKan and pAmp from E. coli that have been cultured overnight in LB media containing antibiotic kanamycin and ampicillin respectively. So‚ the DNA that will be introduced later will make the bacteria resistance to antibiotic kanamycin or ampicillin. A plasmid is a small‚ circular‚ double stranded DNA molecules and cloning vector that are widely used for recombinant DNA technology. It can be physically separated from chromosomal
