Chemistry 1225 Lab Write-Up #13 Abstract Electrolysis is a method of using a direct electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from

chemical reaction and phase changes involve energy. The energy of heat was presented when a change in temperature difference was evaluated. Chemical reactions in a calorimeter were used to determine the amount of heat produced by a reaction. Reactions that absorb heat were noted as endothermic‚ and reactions that release heat were noted as exothermic. These principals were based off of Hess’s Law. The goal of the experiment was to monitor chemical reactions using a calorimeter to monitor changes in temperature

different curve. Some lowered the temperature much more than others. This is because different substances require differing amounts of energy to evaporate. To test this‚ the temperature change from the evaporation of 4 different alcohols was measured and compared‚ along with cyclohexane. Methanol had the largest change in temperature‚ 18.9 ºC. This indicates that methanol has the weakest intermolecular attractions out of the 4 alcohols‚ because it evaporated the most. This may be because methanol is

by Georg Wittig in 1954‚ the Wittig reaction is a robust organic synthesis method for preparing stereospecific alkenes. In general‚ Wittig reactions involve an aldehyde or ketone and a Wittig reagent (triphenylphosphonium ylide) and result in the formation of an alkene product and triphenylphosphine oxide (side product). Stereospecific alkene products can be synthesized by adjusting the reaction reagents and conditions. In the 60 years since the Wittig reaction was discovered‚ many articles have

In this lab‚ we were given three experiments. We had to go through steps and make observations for each‚ but in the end we had to decide whether the experiment had a chemical or physical change. A physical change can alter the state of matter‚ but not the substances identity. A chemical change transforms a substance from one identity to another. It is important to identify the difference between physical and chemical changes in any lab because you want to know the process of what is going on. The

of the reaction: The effect of the temperature of the reaction on the activity of the purified enzyme was carried out by make the enzymatic reaction for 10 minutes at different temperature 25‚30‚35‚40‚45‚50‚60 and 70°C using an enzyme protein 0.1mg/reaction mixture and substrate concentration of 15 mg/reaction mixture‚ using a control of previously heated enzyme solution in the reaction. The data recorded in (table 27) and (figure 29) illustrate the effect of temperature of the reaction on the pectinase

Link reaction The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and its main function is to turn the pyruvate into acetate for the kerb cycle. During the link reaction the pyruvate molecule undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation‚ the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase remove the carboxyl group (which becomes a carbon dioxide molecule) and removes the hydrogen atoms from the pyruvate molecule. The coenzyme NAD accepts the two hydrogen atoms and becomes reduced

It was originally hypothesised that the reaction time would decrease with higher concentrations of the reactants‚ potassium iodate and sodium bisulfite as collision theory stated that more molecules present in a given volume meant a greater chance they would collide. Furthermore‚ the time was expected to decrease with higher temperatures as it influenced the reactant particles by raising their kinetic energy. However‚ the data collected from this experiment only partially supported this hypothesis
