Hydrogen Peroxide & Inorganic Peroxy Compounds Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is also a strong oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid‚ slightly more viscous than water. In dilute solution‚ it appears colorless. Reactions Decomposition Hydrogen peroxide decomposes exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 This process is thermodynamically favorable. It has

Investigation into How the Concentration of a Reactant Can Affect the Rate of Reaction Aim To plan an investigation that allows me to measure the effect of increasing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of reaction. With the results generated‚ it is also hoped to draw accurate conclusions and explain the results using scientific knowledge. Introduction Some reactions are fast‚ for example neutralisation or burning magnesium in air to produce magnesium oxide. However‚ other reactions

Preparation of Calcium Carbonate Lab In this laboratory activity you will attempt to produce 1.00g of calcium carbonate from aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. These solutions will be prepared from 2.01 g of calcium chloride and 1.06 g of sodium carbonate . Materials: 3 beakers 100 mL graduated cylinder rubber policeman funnel filter paper Procedure: 1. Put on your safety goggles. 2. Obtain two clean beakers. Rinse the inside of the beakers with a small

In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to suck up the CO2 from the air surrounding a plant. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy‚ normally from the Sun‚ into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms’ activities. When light hits an object‚ it is absorbed or reflected. When it

Experiment to investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte on the current of voltaic cell Aim The aim is to identify the relationship between the concentration of H2SO4 solution and the current of Cu-Zn voltaic cell. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that the greater the concentration of sulfuric acid the bigger the current of the voltaic cell. In a voltaic cell‚ chemical energy is concerted to electrical though the oxidation and reduction happen on the electrodes. Current will not flow

The data found in this experiment supported the initial statement in the hypothesis‚ that blue would have the highest rate of photosynthesis (see Figure 7). The second part of the prediction was refuted by the data‚ as green had a higher rate than both yellow and red. This result seems to go against the experiment‚ however the answer is in Figure 5. When adding green food coloring to the solution (see Methods) dilution also took place. When comparing the wavelength of 540 nm (see Tables 1 & 2) with

oxygen and the increase of hydrogen peroxide; as the amount of substrate increases‚ the more oxygen is produced from the enzymatic reaction of hydrogen peroxide. For example‚ when five drops of hydrogen peroxide was added‚ it can be seen that 16.2mL of oxygen collected in the gas syringe‚ whilst when 15 drops were added‚ 96.4mL of oxygen was indicated‚ strongly supporting the original hypothesis‚ which was that as more hydrogen peroxide was added to the yeast‚ the higher the rate of reaction.

the reaction rate. This will result in the particles colliding more frequently and increasing the speed of the reaction. Also when they have more energy there will be more chance of the collisions being successful because the activation energy will be attainable. Hypothesis: In a reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ the products calcium chloride‚ carbon dioxide and water are formed. I predict that the higher temperature of HCl acid‚ the higher the reaction rate will be‚ this

Photosynthesis (pron.: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-]‚ "light‚" and σύνθεσις [synthesis]‚ "putting together"‚ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants

wavelength of light on the rate of photosynthesis was investigated in this experiment. The results from Figure 13 suggest that white light‚ containing all wavelengths of coloured light‚ has the highest rate of photosynthesis. Purple light had the second highest efficiency‚ followed by blue‚ red‚ and yellow light. Green light was significantly less efficient‚ producing the second lowest pH reading (Figure 14). The samples exposed to no light had the lowest rate of photosynthesis. The hypothesis that white
