determine the effects of different environments affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured

investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

experiment to investigate how the concentration of an acid affects the rate of the reaction. I have set up the experiment’s equipment as shown on figure 1. As you can see by figure 1‚ I have used the reaction between sodium thisoulphate solution and hydrochloric acid (HCL) to come up with results that will help me draw conclusions regarding the effects of the concentration of the acid. I decided to use this particular reaction due to the fact that the product of the reaction between sodium thisoulphate

Enzyme Reaction Rates Under Different Conditions Introduction In this lab you will observe how the rate of a reaction is changed as certain factors are changed. You will observe how changing factors like temperature‚ pH‚ substrate concentration‚ and enzyme concentration changes the rate of an enzymatic reaction. In this experiment you will act as an enzyme by breaking toothpicks witch act as substrates. After observing the results of this experiment you will be able to determine what causes the

Introduction There are thousands of reactions happen every second in all living cells‚ and in these reactions‚ resource‚ products and enzyme are three most mainly things. In all chemical reactions‚ there is a activation energy(EA) needed for them. However‚ if the rate of reactions are too low‚ they will not be able to sustain lives. In this case‚ they have enzyme as a protein catalyst. As reaction catalysts‚ enzymes are proteins that adjust the process by initiating the reaction. In this case‚ there are also

Chemestry Lab Rates of Reaction (Picture from: http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdzchem.html) The rate of reaction is how fast or slow a reaction is completed. This is important for factories and chemists all over the world. What happenes during a reaction is atoms or molecules that collide and form new molecules. You can affect this rate of reaction with: temperature of reactants or suroundings‚ surface area of reactants‚ if there is a catalyst present‚ but in theis lab the concentration was changed

The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the effect of temperature on enzyme- catalyzed reactions. This is relevant because many diseases can be diagnosed and controlled by the processes of enzyme activity (Worthington 2015). If more information is not found about enzyme activity and how it is affected‚ many diseases may go undiagnosed and uncontrolled. Temperature is a type measurement that does not only consist of heat. It is the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of any group of particles

An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the Enzyme Trypsin. Aim: This investigation was on the effect temperature has on the rate that the enzyme trypsin hydrolyses its substrate‚ a protein found in milk (casein). This investigation was conducted under controlled conditions‚ the temperature being the changeable variable. Trypsin and its substrate (powdered milk which is a source of the protein casein) were heated in a water bath. The contents of the two

The Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature
