Research Question: How will an increase of FeSO4 concentration affect the activity of the enzyme catalase? Hypothesis: By increasing the concentration of FeSO4‚ there will be a decrease in the activity of the enzyme catalase because the Iron (ii) in the metallic ion will act as an inhibitor during the catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide into O2 and H2O. Introduction: We rely on oxygen to provide us with energy (ATP) and go through all the phases of aerobic respiration. However‚ oxygen can be

Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

Catalytic reduction of hexacynoferrate (III) The silver nanoparticles were used in the catalytic electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride‚ resulting in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ions and dihydrogen borate ions. The redox reaction is depicted as: [BH4] - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -3 + 3H2O H2BO3 - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -4+ 8H+ The reaction can even proceed without a catalyst‚ but it has been reported that it is a slow reaction‚ which follows zero-order

Surface Tension Steven Brignol Dr. Payne September 15 Introduction: Water’s ability to stick to itself is surface tension. In this lab we were able to measure and detect surface tension by dropping water‚ drop by drop‚ onto a penny. The quantity of droplets that fit on the penny was impressive. Hypothesis: The detergent will thicken the water making a tighter surface tension. Prediction: If soap increased the surface tension‚ then expansion will happen. Materials: (1) Pipette (2) Water

LAB: Substrate Concentration Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity: Through the Experiment of Beef Liver Puree and Hydrogen Peroxide Research Question Does different amount of substrate affect the rate of enzyme activities? Purpose To examine how different types of concentration (Hydrogen Peroxide) affect the rate of enzyme activity. Hypothesis We believe that if there is more substrate concentrated‚ then there will be an increase in the rate of enzyme activity. This is because

Evelyn Ramos CHEM LAB 201-003 Professor Ruddock Experiment #4 - Chemical Reactions Performed: 3/6/13 DUE: 3/13/13 Pre Lab Questions: 1. Before you can write a chemical equation‚ what must you know? You have to know what the products and reactants are. 2. What observations might you make that suggest that a chemical reaction has occurred? If a gas is produced or precipitates are formed that indicates chemical reaction. Also‚ if color changes occur or

In this lab we tested the effect of temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the difference absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for about 2 minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers for the absorbance‚ which gave us a lower

Activity 1: Simple diffusion Introduction: Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient‚ simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is ’passive’‚ substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids. Materials and methods: * 20 mwco dialysis membrane * 50 mwco dialysis membrane * 100 mwco dialysis membrane * 200 mwco

Title: Enzyme Activity Lab Purpose: To measure the rate of enzyme activity from a tissue abstract and experiment with different factors‚ such as the enzyme solution and the substrate with different hydrogen peroxide percentages and temperature‚ that affect enzyme activity. Hypothesis: 1) If the disk is placed into each beaker with 100 units/ml of enzyme solution‚ then the time for the disk to float will be 30 seconds. 2) If the temperature of the solution is at 5 degrees Celsius‚

Extended Experimental Investigation | May 28 2013 | Drosophila melanogaster lab experiment Question: How do the dominant or recessive genes in particular traits in a cross between a male and female Drosophila determine the traits of its offspring? Aim: to establish whether characteristics produced from the offspring of a drosophila cross are recessive or dominant traits. Hypothesis: If certain phenotypes are expressed in the offspring from the cross of certain Drosophila‚ then the determination
