was performed by adding hydrogen peroxide to sand. Due to the fact that the sand was not soluble in the hydrogen peroxide‚ no reaction thus no catalyst were present. Manganese dioxide was also added to the hydrogen peroxide creating a moderately fast reaction thus leading to believe that an enzyme was present to lower the activation energy and speed up the reaction. When the manganese dioxide was added to the hydrogen peroxide it catalyzes and breaks down the hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas thus creating

Chemiluminescence of Luminol Introduction In this experiment‚ luminol was mixed with hydrogen peroxide (an oxidising agent) resulting in chemiluminescence. The experimentis designed to see how the duration of luminescence is affected by varying temperatures. It has been made to be deliberately inaccurate‚ so another objective would be to see whether subjective observations can be improved by repetition and averaging. Chemiluminescence is the production of light from a release of energy in

A Comparative Study On The Combustibility Of Ethanol (C2H5OH) And Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Mixtures As Fuel Chemistry January 31‚ 2013 Revised February 15‚ 2013 Abstract In this experiment‚ the proponents used mixtures with varied proportions of ethanol and hydrogen peroxide to know which would make a more efficient‚ clean‚ and stable combination. Compared to conventional fuels‚ ethanol contains 36% oxygen thus resulting in more complete combustion. This greatly lowers

determining the number of bubbles produce Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of biochemical metabolism. An accumulation of hydrogen peroxide can be deadly‚ so it has to be decomposed. One of the decomposing factors is an enzyme called Catalase. Catalase breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The chemical formula for the reaction is‚ 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 Since this is a decomposition reaction‚ it is exothermic. Although hydrogen peroxide can gradually degenerate itself‚ it decomposes

concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase. Background Information Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. It is used for removing Hydrogen Peroxide from the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide is the poisonous by-product

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures
