Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

AIM: To carry out a lab experiment to decompose a carbonate using heat‚ also to carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature

The actual rate of a chemical reaction however is dependent on two things; the temperature the actual experiment is performed at‚ and the concentration pertaining to the reactants. The rate of a reaction more often

Speed of Decomposition and Its Factors Purpose The term decomposition is the process of breaking down dead organisms to reuse them. Decomposition allows nutrients in organisms to become free after they die or have become old and they are ready to be used by living plants and animals for their growth. Without decomposition useful nutrients would remain locked inside of a dead organism and it would be very difficult for new life to grow. Most of the nutrients that are essential for the plants

Aim: To investigate the rate of thermal decomposition of CaCO3 at different temperatures. Research Question How does temperature influence the rate of thermal decomposition in CaCO3? Hypothesis Every time more heat is added to the element‚ CaCO3‚ thermal decomposition will take place faster because the heat is a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. Variables Dependent Variables → Mass of Calcium Carbonate Independent Variables → Temperature Controlled Variables → Calcium Carbonate

LANNING Aim: Our aim is to detect which factors affect the rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with a fixed mass of catalyst. A catalyst is a substance‚ which alters the speed‚ or rate of a chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. The two factors that we can change are the temperature and the concentration. We chose to vary the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The catalyst to speed up the reaction without affecting the result will be manganese oxide

Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction

The Decomposition of Potassium Chlorate Hypothesis: Potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas‚ which means that when the glowing splint is inserted into the test tube‚ the flame will have enough fuel to fully reignite the splint. When the manganese dioxide is added‚ this will increase the rate of the production of oxygen in the reaction‚ without affecting the state of the manganese oxide. Materials: Test tube Retort stand Bunsen burner Scoopula Flint sparker 2cm of potassium

Aspects of Decomposition: A Brief Overview Kyle Jackman Animals are complex creatures. The animal can perform such tasks as reproduction‚ digestion‚ and simply movement. This is leaving out the more basic functions of respiration‚ circulation‚ and various maintenance functions. All of these processes are very complex‚ from the superficial all the way to the chemical level. Decomposition is one of these processes. It is common belief in our society to believe that death is an event‚ but
