Alka-Seltzer Reaction Rates Lab What are the different factors the effect the reaction rate of Alka-Seltzer? Matthew Arkfeld Leah Gilligan Jessie Abbott Period 4 June 2nd‚ 2008 Background Research: o The objective of the experiment was to determine if different factors affect the reaction rate of Alka-Seltzer. Alka-Seltzer provides fast relief to acid indigestion‚ upset stomach‚ heartburn‚ headaches‚ body aches and pains. It is an antacid and pain relief medicine used by millions

Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions organisms‚ allowing cells to break or build things instantly. The structure of an enzyme is essential to its function. Enzymes are proteins‚ made up of 100-1000 amino acids bonded together in chains. These chains are folded/coiled into a unique 3-D structure that allows them to bind to a reactant‚ called a substrate at an active site. Enzymes are flexible‚ and therefore can change it’s shape to better accommodate its substrate; this

ivestigating the reaction of sodium thiosulphate and hydroclohric acid. sodium thiosulphate(aq) + Hydroclohric Acid (aq) --> Sodium cloride (aq) + Sulphur Dioxide (g) + Water (l) + Suplhur (s) Na(2)S(2)O(3) + 2 HCl --> 2NaCl + SO(2) + H(2)O + S The finished reaction of the 2 clear liquids is cloudy.I will use this change from clear to cloudy as an indicator as to when the reaction is finished. By using this change ‚ i can see the effect of changing other factors has upon the rate of reaction

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that

before plateauing at 25 degrees. But the 3% took almost the whole 7 minutes to finish rising in temperature. So essentially‚ the higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide‚ the faster the reaction will take place. Furthermore‚ the foam (water and oxygen produced by the potatoes catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide) was a kind of indicator of how the reaction was going. It almost indirectly related to the temperature increase‚ because every time the temperature was rising there also seemed to

Sodium chloride‚ also known as salt‚ common salt‚ table salt‚ or halite‚ is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt‚ it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. [edit] Properties Thermal conductivity of pure NaCl as a function of temperature has a maximum of 2.03 W/(cm K) at 8 K and decreases to 0.069 at 314

Rates of Chemical Reaction II Pre-Lab Summary: First we will set up the experiment as shown in Figure 2‚ and then we will fill the trough with room temperature water and record the temperature and we will also add the room temperature water to the buret until it is about 10ml from the top. If there are no leaks in the apparatus‚ we will add 10ml of KI to 15ml of distilled water in a 125ml flask. We will swirl the flask so that it achieves room temperature‚ then we will add 5ml of H2O2 and quickly

How Music Affects Us and Promotes Health Music is one of the few activities that involves using the whole brain. It is intrinsic to all cultures and can have surprising benefits not only for learning language‚ improving memory and focusing attention‚ but also for physical coordination and development. Of course‚ music can be distracting if it’s too loud or too jarring‚ or if it competes for our attention with what we’re trying to do. But for the most part‚ exposure to many kinds of music has beneficial

Katie Baldwin Mrs. Testa CP Biology 1A 1‚ November‚ 2017 Exercise To begin‚ exercise is a physical process in which you do physical activities to get your heart rate up. Exercise is important because without it‚ we will not be healthy and our body will not be able to go through their natural processes as easily. Exercise can affect your lungs (by not getting winded as easily)‚ your heart (strengthening it)‚ and many more of your important organs. The article I read was about a new study done by the

Sodium hydroxide‚ also known as caustic soda‚[2][3] or lye‚ is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH (also written as NaHO). It is a white solid‚ and is a highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt. It is available in pellets‚ flakes‚ granules‚ and as a 50% saturated solution.[citation needed] Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water‚ ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries
