Once Upon a Time by Gabriel OkaraOnce upon a time‚ son‚they used to laugh with their heartsand laugh with their eyes:but now they only laugh with their teeth‚while their ice-block-cold eyessearch behind my shadow.There was a time indeedthey used to shake hands with their hearts:but that’s gone‚ son.Now they shake hands without heartswhile their left hands searchmy empty pockets.‘Feel at home!’ ‘Come again’:they say‚ and when I comeagain and feelat home‚ once‚ twice‚there will be no thrice-for then

Factors Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function

2013 Some Factors that Affect the Rate of a Reaction BACKGROUND: Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment I will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: * nature of reactants - particle size * temperature * catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However

of Marble chips and Hydrochloric acid Aim: We will measure the loss in mass of the marble chips (CaCO 3 ) as it reacts with Hydrochloric acid (HCl). This one method of measuring the rate of reaction. We will use a balance to measure this mass loss as the reactants are used up to form product. Safety: * As Hydrochloric acid is corrosive wear a lab coat‚ gloves and safety goggles. * Take care when using the glassware not to cut yourself. * When the reaction is taking place Carbon

The effect of temperature on a reaction rate In this experiment I shall be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction Rates of reaction The Factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature‚ surface area‚ concentration‚ catalysts‚ light and pressure Surface area – Surface area is the amount of solid surface that is available for reaction - Only affects solids so this will not affect our

react with hydrochloric acid; and 1 cm3 of element X has a mass of 1.8 grams. Is element X a metal or non-metal? Give the reasons for your answer. Element X is most likely a typical non-metal. First of all‚ element X melts in boiling water; non-metals typically have low melting and boiling points. Furthermore‚ element X is unable to react with hydrochloric acid. This greatly indicates that element X is a non-metal as most non-metals fail to react with hydrochloric or dilute acids. In order

Reaction Rate Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of reaction‚ in this case sodium thiosulphate and acid. Scientific Background For a reaction to occur‚ the particles of the reactants must be colliding with each other with enough energy‚ the amount of energy needed for the reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is altered by temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area of and the pressure on the reactants. Stirring the reactants also increases

This lab focused on three factors affecting reaction rates‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and concentration. Our first experiment (table 1) looked mainly into the effects of temperature on the reaction rate. To see how different temperatures would change the reaction rates we had three flasks all containing varying temperatures of water(H20). One with cold water (4°C)‚ one room temperature (21°C)‚ and one with hot water (44°C). In each flask‚ we dropped one tablet of Alka-Seltzer‚ all within 0.008 grams

Lab Report Background Information: Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal that has the symbol Mg. Magnesium is a fairly strong‚ silvery-white‚ light-weight metal (one third lighter than aluminum). In a powder‚ it heats and ignites when exposed to moisture and burns with a white flame that is harmful to the eyes. It is difficult to ignite in bulk‚ but once ignited‚ it is difficult to extinguish. Magnesium Ribbon is a long strip of magnesium metal about 3 millimeters wide and 10 meters long with

Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Aim: To use a simple reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to discover concentration this determines how fast chemical reactions occur. Independent Variable: Concentration of hydrochloric acid (%) Dependent Variable: Time taken for chemical reaction to take place (sec) Hypothesis: My prediction is that the increased concentration of the thiosulfate will in turn lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is a well informed
