Enzymes are globular proteins that are synthesized by the ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

this experiment was to determine the reaction order of the oxidation of iodine with respect to persulphate (part 1) and iodine (part 2). For part 1 of the experiment‚ this was done by titrating a solution of 50 cm3 of diluted 0.0225M persulphate and 250 cm3 of 0.4M potassium iodine against a 50 cm3 solution of 0.01 M solidum thiosulphate‚ using 3 ml of 2% starch as an indicator. For part 2‚ a solution of 25cm3 of iodine and persulphate‚ and 25 cm3 of 0.04M potassium chloride was titrated against

Experiment 19 - Determination of the equilibrium constant for the reaction Fe3+ (aq) + SCN( (aq) = FeSCN2+ (aq) Object: To determine the equilibrium constant by a colorimetric method Theory: Colorimetric methods of analysis are usually applied to the determination of small concentrations of either inorganic or organic materials in a solution. The constituent sought must be coloured or must be capable of reacting with a reagent to produce a substance having a suitable colour. Beers Law‚ which

oil‚ glucose solution‚ sucrose solution‚ starch solution and distilled water were added separately into six marked test tubes. The volume added was about one finger thick in depth of a test tube. 2. 5 drops of Iodine solution was added to each test tube. 3. The sample’s reaction with iodine was recorded. 4. The samples connected by another group with 5 drops of Benedict’s solution added were heated all together in hot water bath. 5. The test tubes containing samples were taken out of the hot water

Benedict’s solution is added to each test tube. Both test tube are heated together in the water bath for two minutes. The result is recorded in Table 1. 2. A few drops of fresh solution A and B are added separately spaced on a white tile. 1-2 drops of iodine solution are added on each solution. Observations are recorded in Table 1. 3. 2 ml of solution B is pipetted into each of four boiling tubes. The tubes are labelled 1‚ 2‚ 3and 4 respectively near mouth of tube. 4. Tubes 1 and 2 are placed in

the mass of lead nitrate and the ability of amylase to convert starch into maltose. Variables: Independent Variable: The mass of lead nitrate dissolved in each of the solutions. Dependent Variable: The change in the color intensity of the iodine. Controlled variable: Time: the reaction was allowed to proceed for twenty minutes. Temperature: the water bath was set at 40˚C. This was to provide the optimum conditions for the enzyme activity.
