Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

increase of rate is that they all happen to increase (or decrease in the case of the inhibitor) the number of collisions. Overall‚ the rate of the given reaction will depend on the frequency with which the reacting particles will collide. In this experiment‚ the concentration of one reactant will differ from its concentration in other trials‚ but all the other factors will remain the same. A group of clock reactions will be used to determine the effect of concentration on reaction rate. The reactions

Franklin bell experiment Report Introduction After much thought as to what experiment to do‚ I decided to do an electrostatic experiment using the Franklin bell. I had to try and find different energy sources that would work for me. Any electronic instrument would give off enough electricity‚ but I eventually settled on using a electric bug zapper because it was easy to set up the crocodile clips with it. Afterwards I tried the same experiment with a television set‚ using tinfoil which gave static

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

Experiment-5 Thermal physics is the combined study of thermodynamics‚ statistical mechanics‚ and kinetic theory. This practical is done to measure the temperature drop of water over a period of time (30 minutes). Research question- What is the rate of temperature change over a period of 30 minutes? Independent variable- time Dependent variable- the temperature of water Controlled variables- the amount of water in the calorimeter - The stop watch

Stoichiometry lab 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the limiting reactant‚ also to find the percentage yield and percentage purity of the reaction that happens between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. The other purpose was to know how the reaction can be balanced and created. Hypothesis: In this lab we are going to see a precipitation reaction. This is a reaction where two soluble salts Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride are added together and the result is the precipitation

Studying the Rate of Reaction of catechol oxidase and how it affects pH levels Introduction: In this lab‚ we studied the activity of an enzyme that is found in fruits and vegetables called catecholase or catechol oxidase. An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a catalyst. Catechol oxidase is the enzyme in fruits and vegetables that turns them that undesirable brownish color; also commonly referred to as bruising or bruised. When walking through your regular grocery store and you find yourself in

9/16/14 Physics 01L Density Abstract This experiment was conducted in order to determine the density of the Aluminum metal samples provided in the lab. Specific tools such as the vernier caliper and balance scale were used to measure and record the values found. Given that density is a measurement of mass over volume‚ both of these quantities would have to be determined experimentally‚ prior to proceeding with the calculation of the density‚ for each of the
