Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to be able to observe the reaction rates of different chemical substances‚ by looking at which substance is the fastest reactant. This is what chemical kinetics is. Reaction rate is the change in the concentration of a reactant or product in a chemical reaction per unit time. In this lab the requirement was to be able to calculate each Average reaction rate which is the change in reactant or product concentration at a given time interval. Some equations that

the test tube rack to observe the next day. A chemical reaction did occur in the lab. There were a color change and an odor change that was observed on Day 2 of the lab. On Day 1‚ the liquid was clear and the smell was very strong. On Day 2 of the lab‚ most of the liquid was gone but the color was a muddy color and the smell got milder‚ it wasn’t as strong as Day 1. Not only was there a color and odor change‚ there was also an energy change in temperature. After Day 1‚ the temperature increased when

Density of a given substance is independent of volume. Density never changes. I know that for a fact because during the “Density Does Not Change With Size” lab‚ we measured the length of rods given to us. For one I got 4.2cm‚ and when i weighed it on the scale I got 14.5g. Once I put the rod in the graduated cylinder I got 5.5cm squared. But when you divide your mass by volume‚ you will get your density. And for the density I got 2.6g/cm squared.Then for the other rod I got 6.7cm for length‚ 23.2g

The different methods of measuring acids and bases in a solution By Starsky Intro to Biology September 26‚ 2011 Lab Partners: Kristen‚ Tania and Betty Introduction When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best

biochemical reactions such as muscle contraction‚ active transport‚ molecular synthesis‚ and in fireflies‚ also known as lightening bugs‚ bioluminescence (Biology Book). Bioluminescence is the process in which living organisms convert chemical energy into light (Branchini‚ 2008). In the fireflies case the reaction involves the enzyme luciferase which lights up a lantern-like mechanism under the tip the wings and attached to the end of the body of the firefly. It is presumed that the firefly uses the

Step 1: Pb (NO3) 2 (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) PbCl2 (aq) + Ca (NO3) 2 (aq) (double displacement reaction) According to the solubility guidelines lead (II) chloride (PbCl2) is a possible precipitate. This is because even though most chlorides are soluble‚ lead chloride is considered insoluble (p.2‚ Lesson 17). Step 2: PbCl2 ↔ Pb2+ + 2Cl- Q = [Pb2+] [Cl-] 2 Step 3: Ksp = 1.2 x 10-5 (from table 17.1‚ p.5) Step 4: V2 = 20.0 mL (volume of Pb (NO3)2) + 45.0 mL (volume of CaCl2) = 65.0

Macroscopic Chemical Changes‚ Alice Kimbrell‚ Chemistry 101-DS01:74589‚ 5/31/2013. Purpose: In this lab‚ I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change‚ and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these changes can be related to

Acid-Base Titrations February 21‚ 2013 Abstract: With the given volume measurement of KHP and NaOH‚ the students experimented to calculate the mass of unknown acid and its equivalence point using a method called titration and titration curve. The known volume of an acid solution would be titrated by slowly adding drops of solution into NaOH‚ and the volume of base needed to react with the acid is measured throughout. By using those data‚ the students are able to find what they

1 Measuring and calculating equilibrium constants Clearly‚ if the concentrations or pressures of all the components of a reaction are known‚ then the value of K can be found by simple substitution. Observing individual concentrations or partial pressures directly may be not always be practical‚ however. If one of the components is colored‚ the extent to which it absorbs light of an appropriate wavelength may serve as an index of its concentration. Pressure measurements are ordinarily able to measure
