Atomic theory is the idea that matter is made up of small particles made of atoms. The atomic theory first had 5 points which were stated by John Dalton who came up with it. The first one was that all elements were made up of small units called atoms. The second one was that all atoms of a given element are identical to each other. Third‚ all the atoms were different from all the other atoms. Fourth‚ atoms of different elements combined together in equal numbers to form compounds. Fifth and final

affecting the catalytic decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide Please refer to the additional files for tables/graphs. Aim- The purpose of this investigation is to investigate how certain factors affect the catalytic decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide. I will investigate the effect of altering the mass of catalyst used on the rate of the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide. Introduction- The decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide is a process by which Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and Oxygen

Abstract Molar volume is the volume that one mole of gas occupies when temperature and pressure are kept constant. The molar volume of a gas can be determined through evaluating how much gas is given off when the number of moles of the substance is known. To find the volume of gas that will be used to calculate the molar volume‚ the process of water displacement can be used. Reference Citation Cesa‚ J. (2002).

As we are using enzymes and Hydrogen Peroxide we need to be extra careful‚ ensuring they don’t come into contact with our eyes‚ skin or clothes. Catalyse is an enzyme found in all living cells. It makes Hydrogen Peroxide decompose into water and Oxygen. We will be measuring the amount of Oxygen released from the Hydrogen Peroxide. In order to do this we will use a measuring cylinder. This piece of apparatus measures

Hydrogen Selenide is toxic. It is made up of selenium which is also toxic‚ and hydrogen which is nontoxic. This substance is also colorless like hydrogen‚ but not like selenium which is a deep red color. There are reports of mine workers being poisoned by hydrogen selenide and selenium. Increasing industrial applications of selenium and the fact that workers may be exposed to Hydrogen Selenide have led authors to make a further investigation of the toxicity of this substance. The purpose of this

Lab 3: Hydrogen Spectrum Abstract When white light is viewed through a diffraction grating‚ we can see each component that makes up the light. However‚ when in an excited state‚ a gaseous element produces bright light of specific wavelengths rather than a continuous spectrum of colors. This phenomenon ultimately lead to the Neils Bohr model of the atom in 1913. Introduction In the middle of the 19th century‚ Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kichoff observed that gases emit spectral lines specific

Introduction: In liver cells‚ hydrogen peroxide is produced as a bi-product of some metabolic reactions. Hydrogen peroxide is a highly active chemical used in household products for bleaches and cleansing wounds. In a cell its build up would be highly toxic. However‚ liver cells contain an enzyme‚ catalase‚ which immediately breaks down hydrogen peroxide. It is a peroxidase and breaks up the toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen which are both nontoxic. The reaction is exothermic‚ meaning that

Chemist from the University of Glasgow in Scotland have taken a step closer towards producing clean hydrogen fuel in a maintainable way. Hydrogen gas is able to be burned to generate electricity without producing lethal releases‚ unlike fossil fuels. It is produced from water releasing them as gas‚ through a process called electrolysis‚ which uses electricity to break the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. This technique is 30 times faster than the current method‚ and can be powered by renewable

OF CATALASE ON HYDROGEN PEROXIDE The aim of the experiments is to see if increasing the surface area of the enzyme Catalase‚ affects the relative activity of the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Then to observe and measure the effect the Catalase has on the chemical breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide. My theory is if you keep increasing the surface area of Catalase‚ the more active sites are available to join with the substrate causing an increase in the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide producing
