lObjective This experiment explores how salt and sugar affect the melting rate of ice in water. Research Questions: * Does adding salt to ice and water slow down‚ speed up‚ or not change the rate the ice melts in the water? * Is salt the only substance to have this effect? What about sugar? Knowing how to speed up the melting rate of ice is very important information for anyone who needs to de-ice roads or driveways after a winter storm. While it seems simple‚ adding salt to ice water

grow rapidly‚ making it the ideal specimen for our experiment. It is hypothesized that altering the amount of light received by duckweed will alter its photosynthetic rate. It is predicted that a lower light intensity will lower the rate of growth in duckweed. Two treatment groups were covered with a screen in order to reduce light intensity. Both groups were kept under a controlled light source for fourteen days and plant counts were taken at regular intervals. The ravg for the experimental group

Interpretation of Data When looking at my results i can safely say that the change in HCl concentration does affect the rate of reaction with the Calcium carbonate pebbles. The relationship between the change in HCl and reaction rate can be seen in the graph and raw data table presented above. If you compare the lowest concentration with the highest concentration you’d be able to see that there is a very large contrast between their averages. The average gas production of 0.1M HCl was 0.00693 kPa/s

Chemistry IA How does the molecular mass of alcohols affect its rate of evaporation? Introduction Alcohols are some of the most important molecules in organic chemistry. They can be converted into many different types of compounds. Alcohols contain the hydroxyl functional group (-OH)‚ bonded to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The weight of the different compounds will differs because of the amount of hydrogen bonding. There are three kind of alcohols‚ primary‚ secondary

Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

The Effect of Different Genres of Music on the Growth Rate of Garden Cress AIM The purpose of this experiment is to explore upon the possible correlation between musical stimulus and the growth rate of Lepidium sativum‚ commonly known as Garden Cress. It also aims to discover which genre amongst classical‚ jazz‚ and rock has the most beneficial effect on its growth rate. PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT The Garden Cress plant‚ better known by its botanical name Lepidium sativum‚ is amongst the many plants that

oxygen released for the cold trial was 38 mL‚ 11 mL less than the control. Conclusion: The hot trial produced the most oxygen of all three trials. Heat tends to increase the rate of chemical reactions‚ explained in the article Temperature Effects (Introduction to Enzymes) by Chris Jamison. “Like most chemical reactions‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100% . Variations

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

Lab Report: How Temperature affects Reaction Rate Aim: The Aim is to investigate how temperature can affect Reaction Rate. The experiment will be performed by heating equally sized and weighted lime stones with equal amounts and concentration of Hydrochloric acid at different temperatures. The temperatures will be 35˚C and 40˚C. We will measure the reaction rates by observing gas release of the reaction between lime stones and Hydrochloric acid. The amount of gas release at different

In class we decided that the rate of a reaction increases when there are more collisions or when the activation energy is reduced. We then determined that there were four ways to increase the reaction rate: increase temperature‚ add a catalyst‚ increase surface area‚ and increase the concentration of reactants. The objective of this lab was to experimentally show how temperature and surface area impact the rate of reaction‚ so only two of these methods were tested. The evidence indicates that increasing
