Investigating the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. Introduction Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears colourless in a dilute solution‚ slightly more viscous than water. It is a weak acid. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that is mostly used for bleaching paper. Catalase is a common enzyme found in all living organisms. Its functions include the conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially

Salt and the effect it has on water. Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis

If I only dissociate to the extent of 1.50%‚ what is the value of my Ka? 3. I am a 0.20 M solution of hydrocyanic acid‚ HCN‚ with a Ka of 4.93 x 10¯ 10 . What is my pH? 4. I am a buffer made from 0.10 M acetic acid and 0.15 M sodium acetate. If the Ka for acetic acid is 1.77 x 10¯ 5 ‚ what is my pH? 5. I am

The next part of the experiment was to determine the Vitamin C in a solution of known concentration. Observations of the Vitamin C sample and the amount found on the label was recorded. A tared piece of weighing paper was used to weigh 0.27 g of Vitamin C. The Vitamin C was then transferred to a clean 50 mL volumetric flask. The flask was filled

The effects of rock salt‚ which is used for melting snow in the winter time‚ works in a variety of ways. The main reason is to aid in melting of the snow making it easier for individuals to drive their vehicles and also the sidewalk for pedestrians. Overall‚ the rock salt used for melting snow‚ works but it have some pros and cons about it‚ but using it wisely should be the key to its success. Might grass growth be inhibited by salt?

The Spectrophotometer Determination Of Protein Concentrations And The Effects Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate And Triton X-100 Have On Protein Concentration. INTRODUCTION Spectroscopy is used as a collective term for all the analytical techniques based on the interaction of light and matter. Spectrophotometry is one of the branches of spectroscopy where we measure the absorption of light by molecules that are in a gas or vapour state or dissolved molecules/ions (Tombs‚ et.al‚ 1959). Spectroscopy is the

Lipids & Fat Casey G. Turner‚ RN Western Governors University Lipids & ATP • Fatty acids are important to energy production. They generate ATP. • This is completed by: 1. Starting with a triglyceride molecule the fatty acid part separates from the glycerol part of the molecule. 2. Once separated‚ the fatty acid chain will break into sections. Each section will be composed of 2 carbon molecules. 3. Each of the carbon pieces will form Acetyl CoA. Each Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs Cycle. 4. It is

People have been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning‚ preservation‚ and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt). In pure water 0 degrees celsius is the normal freezing point of water. Ice will melt just as fast the water will freeze. You won’t see the melting and freezing processes as long as they are balanced and equal. Adding salt or any foreign substance to the water upsets the fragile equality between freezing and melting.
