How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately

Diffusion of Hydrochloric Acid into Different Sizes of Agar Blocks Aim: Investigating the relationship between the diffusion and the surface area to volume ratio‚ with agar and hydrochloric acid. Research Question: How does the difference in surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion? Hypothesis: As the area to volume ratio increases‚ the time taken for a complete diffusion will also increase. Background Information: Agar is a jelly like substance and in this experiment‚ agar

Testing the effect of concentration on rate of reaction Plan: We are investigating the effect of nitric acid on calcium carbonate. We are doing this experiment‚ as we would like to understand the effect that acid rain has on limestone. We also want to understand how acid can have an effect on rate of reaction. The word equation for the reaction that will take place is: Calcium Carbonate + Nitric Acid Calcium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The balanced symbol equation

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

regarding the effects of varying the concentration of a substrate‚ in this case the pea extract. To view the graphical representation‚ which more clearly displays the relationship‚ view Figure 2. The rate at which the reaction occurred for the 100% concentration is 1.45 mg/dL per minute. For the 50%‚ the rate was 3.05 mg/dL per minute‚ and for the 25%‚ the rate was 2.76 mg/dL per minute. As seen‚ the rate fluctuated from the lowest rate at 100% and the greatest rate occurring at 50%. As mentioned earlier

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

The colour red gives the highest rate of photosynthesis (89 bubbles per minute) with blue giving the second highest rate of photosynthesis (70 bubbles per minute)‚ and yellow giving the third highest rate of photosynthesis (64 bubbles per minute) and green with by far the least (44 bubbles per minute). Although‚ we can see no direct correlation between the rate of photosynthesis and

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

An Increase in Light Intensity Increases the Rate of Respiration M. Chauntise‚ S. Shaika‚ R. Shantal INTRODUCTION The sun plays a vital role in sustaining an entire living world whether indirectly or directy using a transformation process called photosynthesis. This process assists in nourishing plants and keeping them alive. For example‚ trees grow very tall in the rainforest where there is an abundance of water in order to reach as much light as they can. For this reason‚ in order to survive the

Experiment 7 Investigating Stoichiometry with Sodium Salts of Carbonic Acid Introduction: The student will perform the experiment in order to find the percent yield by using the theoretical value found using the balanced equation for sodium carbonate as well as sodium bicarbonate. The objective is to stabilize the substances by titrations and finding the percent yield when all the data is collected. The purpose of this procedure is so that the student will get better understanding of stoichiometry
