Zinc oxide in a mixture with a about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is called calamine and is used in calamine lotion. There are also two minerals‚ smithsonite and hemimorphite‚ which have been called calamine historically (see: calamine (mineral). Zinc peroxide‚ ZnO2 .½ H2O‚ is a white to yellow powder that is used in antiseptic ointments. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints and is more opaque than lithopone‚ but less opaque than titanium dioxide. It is also used in coatings for paper

the enzyme catalase on hydrogen peroxide while subject to different concentrations of an inhibitor. The hypothesis was that hydrogen peroxide will be broken down by catalase into hydrogen and oxygen‚ where a higher concentration of inhibitor will yield less oxygen‚ resultant of a lower rate of reaction. Crushed potato samples of equal weight were placed in hydrogen peroxide solutions of various temperatures. The results showed that less gas was produced as the concentration of the inhibitor rose. This

ZINC Zinc is one of the natural elements on the periodic table. It was discovered in Germany in 1746‚ by Andreas Marggraf. The name is from the German‚ ‘zinc’‚ which may be derived from Persian‚ which means ‘sing’. The element was known to the Romans but they rarely used it. When it was first used it was recognized. Zinc has a specification of metal made from ore or another material a process of distillation by electrolysis. The atomic number for zinc is 30. The mass number is 65.39 mass units

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

WHAT IS METAL? A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metals are malleable and ductile and have lustrous appearance. They have moderate to high physical constants and high tensile strength. Metals are further divided into two main groups - ferrous and non ferrous metals. TYPES OF METAL • FERROUS METAL These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added‚ to give the required properties

Abstract In this laboratory exercise we studied enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the

Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal. It is brittle and crystalline at ordinary temperatures but it becomes ductile and malleable when heated between 110°C and 150°C. It is a reactive metal that can combine with oxygen and other non-metals and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen. Mostly zinc is used for galvanizing iron with more than 50% of metallic zinc goes into galvanizing steel and in the preparation of certain alloys. Then‚ zinc is added during industrial activities such as mining

the extent to which the temperature and presence of common ions affect the amount of copper sulphate salt that can dissolve in 100 grams of water until it reaches saturation. In order to achieve the aims of this experiment‚ a methodical approach is taken to measure solubility of the salt at three different temperatures and then construct a solubility curve for copper sulphate. Additionally‚ copper sulphate is reacted with sodium hydroxide to investigate further the effect of common ions on
