Chemistry Ozone Depletion Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth’s stratosphere (the ozone layer)‚ and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth’s polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as theozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena‚ there are also springtime polartropospheric ozone depletion events. The

Syl Rogers Bio 210 Comparing Fermentation Rate of the S. cerevisiae Yeast in the presence of MgSO4‚ NaF and Sodium Pyruvate Hypothesis In the fermentation of rate of yeast‚ S. Cerevisiae‚ there will be a higher/ faster rate of ethanol production‚ However‚ using catalytic enzymes would make the rate more faster‚ and MgSo4 will have a higher rate of CO2 than that of NaF and Sodium pyruvate as it act as a more better catalytic enzyme than the others. Methods Preparation of Tubes A solution of yeast

Design lab for the rate of reaction between Mg and H2SO4 Introduction: Increasing the concentration (in moles) of H2SO4 will increase the rate of the reaction when a ribbon of Mg is added to the solution. The rate of the reaction all depends on how strong the concentration of the solution is. Research question: Does altering the concentration of H2SO4 increase the rate of reaction when a ribbon of Mg is mixed with the solution? Variables: Independent Variable: The concentration of

fermented from sugar. The fermentation of ethanol results in the production of acetic acid (CH3COOH). The typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5‚ although shop-bought vinegar usually measures 2.4 www.wisegeek.com/what-is-vinegar.htm fig 1 In this study we will determine the amount of acid in a vinegar sample by using titration‚ a common technique in chemistry a typical shop brought vinegar has an acid percentage of 5% see fig 1. A titration is a technique where a solution of known

Formic acid is known to be the simplest carboxylic acid‚ and it is an important factor in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally. The chemical formula for Formic Acid is CH202‚ and is mostly found in the venom of bee and ant stings. Formic acid is clear and colorless with a pungent odor. Formic acid is used in many ways; Formic acid is used to preserve livestock. It is also sprayed on animal food and fresh hay to reduce the decay rate. It can also be used as a pesticide to protect bee

Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Enzymes are catalyst for biochemical reactions; Enzymes lower the activation ATP so a reaction can begin over the energy barriers. In this lab‚ a discussion of the enzymes reaction to heat will be addressed. Does heat speed up the enzyme reaction? The prediction is as more heat is applied more reactions will occur then at some point the heat will denature the enzyme as it reaches too
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Catalysis
Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

Waking up this morning‚ the bright spring sunshine shone through my window. In less than an hour‚ I was ready for school and heading towards the bus stop. Walking in the direction of the main road‚ I caught a glimpse of my bus and hurriedly increased my walking speed. Feeling triumphant about catching the bus‚ I dug my hand in my blazer pocket and fetched my oyster card. The triple beep of my oyster card embarrassed me‚ but I took no notice and strolled into the bus. I fixed my eyes on a comfortable-looking
