Flyne Anderson Experiment done - 30 September 2012 Report submitted - 02 October 2012 Chemistry 111 - Experiment 4 : Properties of Gasses Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to learn about the properties of gasses‚ and identify them by their physical and chemical properties by combining different elements and observing how they react with each other‚ and outside influences. Materials/Procedure: I gathered my materials from the material list and set up my data table. I combined the zinc

Experiment 10 – Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes‚ like all catalysts‚ speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Since enzymes are proteins‚ they can be denatured in a variety of ways‚ so they are most active under mild conditions. Most enzymes have optimum activity at a neutral pH and at body temperature. Enzymes are

------------------------------------------------- The Mondragon Experiment * Government * Econ By Greg MacLeod | April 4‚ 2009 | 10:28 PM The concept of the corporation reaches back to Roman times. However‚ the modern business corporation evolved radically from its ancient roots into a form with little relation to the purpose as understood by historians of law. Today‚ the typical business corporation seems to be a disjointed entity whereby shareholders seek maximum income‚ labor unions

THE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN pH ON THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYMES Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that speed up‚ and control chemical reactions within a cell and break down complex molecules into smaller ones. Some of the chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim:

Decomposition of Sodium Chlorate to Create Oxygen Gas Introduction: There are several types of chemical reactions. Those reactions include synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single replacement‚ and double replacement. In this experiment‚ we will be decomposing sodium chlorate to create oxygen gas. In a decomposition reaction‚ a chemical compound is being separated into elements or simpler compounds. AB → A + B is a simple way of expressing what happens in a decomposition reaction‚ AB break down into A

cause the detainees to feel embarrassed and confused. Not only would this be degrading for them‚ it would also serve as a catalyst for psychological change. It would be at this time that the new inmates begin to really feel as though they have done something to deserve this kind of treatment. The prison attire the inmates had to wear was also part of this psychological catalyst. It probably left the inmates feeling very anonymous and inhuman. 2.

Discussion and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to prepare benzil by first converting benzaldehyde to benzoin by the benzoin condensation‚ then oxidizing benzoin to benzil. The benzoin condensation was carried out using thiamine hydrochloride‚ or vitamin B1‚ as a catalyst. The percent yield of the product was sub-par. It was found to be 54.4%‚ which may have been due to the formation of other byproducts during the experiment. For example‚ the benzoin and copper(II) acetate mixed

Introduction: Enzymes are a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to activate a specific reaction. The purpose of this experiment was to figure out if the temperature of the reaction would rise‚ will the absorption rise as well. Reactions use energy‚ If there is energy than heat occurs. The Hypothesis that was figured out was‚ If the temperature rises‚ then the absorption will also go up. The Independent variable that was tested was temperature. The dependent variable that

Determine the weight and volume of the cylinder (for lab experiment written on side). 2. For the mixed aggregates ensure they are well mixed. Now fill the cylinder with the aggregate to 1/3 the height of the cylinder using the scoop. 3. Compact the aggregate with the tamping rod giving 25 strokes without
