Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

Although I love science‚ I encountered more problems in this subject than any other. Recently‚ I was assigned a lab. The purpose was to let Copper Sulfate react with Aluminum and obtain Copper. Before the experiment‚ I set up the stoichiometric equation carefully‚ predicting the production of Copper using my assigned mass of Copper Sulfate. Additionally‚ I intentionally made Copper Sulfate an excess in my equation‚ since it would be dissolved in water and I would only have to collect Copper at the

Titration of a Weak Acid Introduction: We will be using the LoggerPro and LabPro in order to help us determine our data. The purpose of this experiment is to follow the changes of pH during the titration of an acid and a base in order to determine the of the weak acid‚ . is a constant for a given acid at a given temperature. In this experiment we determined the Ka using two different methods: 1) the measurement of the pH of a solution containing a known concentration of a weak acid‚ and 2) measurement

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

Piumbroeck Chem 214 Acid-Base Titration‚ Determination of Carbonate and Bicarbonate in a water sample Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of two bases‚ carbonate and bicarbonate‚ by using a potentiometric titration. We can determine the concentration of the bases in the reactions ( H+ +CO3- < ==> HCO3- and H+ + HCO3- < ==> H2CO3-) by the way the pH of the solution changes. The way the pH changes when a strong acid is added can be used to

CHEMISTRY LAB REPORTS How to Write a Lab Report Lab Reports gives the explanation of the experiment done Lab reports are an essential part of all laboratory courses and usually a significant part of your grade. If your instructor gives you an outline for how to write a lab report‚ use that. Here ’s a format for a lab report you can use if you aren ’t sure what to write or need an explanation of what to include in the different parts of the report. A lab report is how you explain what you did

Objective: The purpose of the lab is to learn filtering techniques. Specifically‚ to form and filter a calcium carbonate precipitate using a Buchner funnel. Procedure: a.) Prepared a mixture of .5 M calcium nitrate (45 mL) and .01 M sodium carbonate by combining and stirring the two liquids in a beaker. Allow the mixture to stand. b.) Prepare the filtration assembly. The assembly consists of a tapered flask with a buchner funnel inserted in the top. The funnel has a rubber stopper attached

Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine.
