Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening

1. Briefly explain the following: a. Chemical equilibrium- Chemical equilibrium is the state of a reaction when the concentrations of the reactants and products are no longer changing and remain constant. The forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reactions making them equal. This type of equilibrium is also named dynamic equilibrium or a dynamic process. When a reaction has reached its chemical equilibrium‚ the constant K value will remain constant unless the temperature changes

simple soluble substances. There are two types of digestion – chemical digestion and mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion involves breaking up large pieces of food into smaller pieces. This provides a large surface area for the action of enzymes on food. There is no change to the chemical composition of food during mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth (mastication) and in the stomach (churning). Chemical digestion involves the action of enzymes. Large insoluble food

extracellular solution‚ this was deemed the baseline. When we punctured each of the DEM‚ DEL1‚ and DEL2 crayfish muscles‚ we observed a large drop in voltage (refer to Figure 1)‚ therefore indicating that inside the muscle was more negative in relation to the outside solution. The time when the pipette was intramuscular‚ the recording showed a steady reading of the intramuscular voltage potential (Figure 1). When the pipette was removed from the crayfish muscle and was back in the extracellular solution‚ the

This assignment discusses chemical kinetics by determining the rate and average value for rate constant based on experimental values given. The orders of the reactants can only be determined experimentally‚ so we must look at how the concentration of the reactants affect the instantaneous initial rate while holding the concentration of the other reactant constant. In this reaction‚ the overall reaction order for the rate law is third because the order for A is second and the order for B is first

The lab was to include a purpose‚ procedure‚ data/observations‚ all reactions and side reactions written out with qualitative data beneath each product and reactant except H20‚ and a summary. The purpose of this experiment is to observe the qualitative aspects of a series of reactions involving copper. Procedure 1.Measure about 1g of solid copper. 2.Place Cu in Erlenmeyer flask and place flask under fume hood. 3.Add dropwise 15M HNO3 until solid copper is completely reacted. 4.Place flask
