A Comparative Study On The Combustibility Of Ethanol (C2H5OH) And Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Mixtures As Fuel Chemistry January 31‚ 2013 Revised February 15‚ 2013 Abstract In this experiment‚ the proponents used mixtures with varied proportions of ethanol and hydrogen peroxide to know which would make a more efficient‚ clean‚ and stable combination. Compared to conventional fuels‚ ethanol contains 36% oxygen thus resulting in more complete combustion. This greatly lowers

determining the number of bubbles produce Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of biochemical metabolism. An accumulation of hydrogen peroxide can be deadly‚ so it has to be decomposed. One of the decomposing factors is an enzyme called Catalase. Catalase breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The chemical formula for the reaction is‚ 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 Since this is a decomposition reaction‚ it is exothermic. Although hydrogen peroxide can gradually degenerate itself‚ it decomposes

Abdosan IV-OBB (Researcher) Ms. Luzviminda A. Dinglasan (Research Adviser) Introduction One of the problems of Filipino today is the yellowish teeth they have. Some of them are afraid to smile because they are ashamed of their teeth. Now is there any process that can

experiment used two pieces of fish‚ one whole and one ground up‚ which were then covered in hydrogen peroxide. This method allowed us to observe the catalase in ground up fish break down the hydrogen peroxide at a quicker rate than in the piece of fish left intact. This was determined by observing a larger formation of bubbles‚ the visual indicator of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into a non-toxic form of hydrogen and water. This study allowed us to observe first hand catalase can perform further

SCH4U7-02 Monday‚ October 21‚ 2013 Designing an Experiment to Investigate Factors Affecting Rate of Reaction Introduction Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)‚ is the most simple peroxide and commonly used in several household items such as toothpaste or as an alternative to bleach. However hydrogen peroxide it is a very dangerous substance when accumulated in large amounts. If that situation occurs this substance must be decomposed. But how can we decompose this reaction? Well it decomposes by itself

Storyboard: Materials: 2 50 mL beakers 10 mL graduated cylinder 3% hydrogen peroxide solution Hot water bath Lemon juice or HCl Fresh liver Forceps Procedure: Measure 10 mL of hydrogen peroxide and record its temperature. Pick the liver up with the forceps and add it to the hydrogen peroxide‚ record the temperature once more. Record the reaction

Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Yeast Abstract A number of different variables‚ such as the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution or the temperature at which the reaction occurs‚ can affect the rate at which yeast breaks down hydrogen peroxide. To prove this we first tested the solution with 3% concentration of peroxide‚ the paper that was soaked in yeast rose in 1.7 seconds. After that we changed our concentration to 2.25%‚ 1.5%‚ and .75% of hydrogen peroxide to see the effects

One molecule of catalase can convert 40 million molecules of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful product of normal processes to prevent damage to cells and tissue so it must be converted into less hazardous substances. Hydrogen peroxide is said to denature cells meaning to kill cells. Temperature can affect the rate of enzyme reaction‚ according to the laws of thermodynamics. As

Research Question Does the concentration of substrate (H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)) have an effect on the activity of the enzyme (catalase)? Theory The higher the substrate concentration the more quickly product is produced (rate of reaction increases) until enzyme saturation is reached at which time more substrate has no further effect. Enzymes such as Catalase are protein molecules which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all
