pH pH means Power of Hydrogen or Potential of Hydrogen. pH is a scale of acidity from 0 to 14. It tells how acidic or alkaline a substance is. More acidic solutions have lower pH. More alkaline solutions have higher pH. Substances which are not acidic or alkaline i.e neutral usually have a pH of around 7. Acids have a pH less than 7. Alkalis have a pH greater than 7. There are a lot of ways for finding the pH of something. One way is to use litmus paper. The pH paper is able to tell how strong

Does concentration affect the speed of chemical reactions? Problem: We are proving that “concentration” (the amount of reactants) is one of the things that can affect the speed of chemical reactions. We are also finding a way to keep the lid on the film canister for the longest period of time. We are using vinegar and water as reactants and changing the concentration every time to see the difference between the rates of reactions speed. Materials: - 1 graduated cylinder - 1 film canister

What are Enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that quicken chemical reaction in our body. They are found in our digestive system‚ in the stomach mostly. They are there to speed up the process of breaking down food into molecules that provide nutrients to the body. Enzymes are made up of amino acids. The Digestive System: Many people believe that when you eat a meal it drops into a pool of stomach acid‚ and then it is broken down as it goes into the small intestine to have nutrients taken out‚ and then

The Effect of pH on the Rate of Osmosis Using a Glucose Solution Melissa Werderitch Biology 157 11/6/06 Introduction In a journal article written by Florian Lang‚ osmosis is essentially explained as the flow of water from one area to another that are separated by a selectively permeable membrane to equalize concentrations of particles in the two locations (Lang‚ 1997). Osmosis is able to maintain osmotic pressure and regulate a cell’s volume. In a hypotonic () or hypertonic () environment

in neutral pH. To do this the experiment was carried out so that tubes containing a reaction solution of the Amylase enzyme and starch were simultaneously mixed. The reactions were then introduced to I2-KI‚ which stopped the reactions‚ at two minute intervals. Each of these trials was repeated three times to ensure proper accuracy. After concluding the reactions they were placed into a spectrophotometer (A580) for analysis. Graphing the values of the absorbance to time for each pH it was found

Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency
