is often used to speed up the rate in which a reaction occurs by lowering the activation energy without completely altering the results of the reaction. In chemical reactions such as the one performed its used to breakdown hydrogen peroxide to form two separate molecules hydrogen(H2) and oxygen (O2) (Kohen‚ 2015). Catalase are found within the cells of living tissue/cells (Kohen‚ 2015). Although only adding catalase‚ varying the concentration of substrate‚ and varying temperature were tested in this

BRIGGS RAUSCHER OSCILLATING CLOCK COURSEWORK Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. To investigate the order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide and ethanoic acid (acetic acid) by the use of an oscillating clock reaction. To determine the activation enthalpy with and without catalytic ions and use this to compare the effectiveness. To investigate the rate equation‚ rate constant and possible mechanism for this reaction. Background research: The Briggs-Rauscher

enzyme‚ catalase. Living tissues produce the enzyme catalase‚ which is able to break down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen gas and water. The reaction is shown below: H2O2 O2 + H2O Cells make hydrogen peroxide as a normal product of metabolism. But it is toxic to the cell if it builds up. Therefore‚ all cells produce catalase to get ride of hydrogen peroxide. In the following experiment‚ we will use liver as a source of catalase. Before you do

*CHEMICAL KINETICS Collision theory and rates of reaction *One of the main considerations when examining chemical reaction is whether it will take place fast enough for it to be useful. *In other words‚ there’s no point carrying out a reaction if it takes 150 years to form the product! *Many chemical reactions occur very quickly. *Studying Reaction Rates *Defined as the change in concentration of reactants of products per unit time. *Units: mol dm¯³ s¯¹ *Rate of Reaction * ‚ the

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test for enzyme activity‚ look at enzyme specificity‚ and how temperature affects enzyme activity. Hypothesis: I believe that the room temperature activity will produce the most activity. Materials: 3% hydrogen peroxide‚ a household blender‚ potatoes (3 medium size potatoes‚ that are peeled and quartered)‚ tap water‚ 8 test tubes‚ 8 transfer pipets‚ sugar packets‚ salt‚ a small saucepan‚ a refrigerator with a freezer‚ stove‚ 4 clear plastic cups‚ tongs (to remove

of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of catalysis such as an enzyme. Moreover to increase the effectiveness of an enzyme one must add additional amount of enzyme due to
