different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Prediction would be‚ that the filter paper discs that were used‚ will rise up to the surface in a time in the tube of different concentration of hydrogen peroxide. And in different concentrations the time will be different. As higher the concentration would be‚ the less time it would take for the filter paper discs to rise to the surface. 2. Experimental design. Independent variable – is the concentration of hydrogen peroxide‚ in this experiment

Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

I. Aim The aim of the three experiments is actually to investigate the effects of different factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of substrate‚ on the activity of the enzymes. By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase

REVIEW SHEET‚ EXAM 3 Chapter 6‚ Nutrition and Microbial Growth Define the four major modes of nutrition in microorganisms and distinguish among them in terms of energy and carbon sources The four major modes of nutrition are: 1. Photoautotrophs: (ex. Plants‚ some protozoa‚ & alegae) -microorganism which use carbon dioxide as a carbon source and light energy from the environment to make their own food. 2. Chemoautotrophs: -microorganism which uses carbon dioxide as a carbon source and

This aim will find out the effect of ethanol by carrying out the iodine clock reaction with and without ethanol present and the results will be compared to draw a conclusion. A2 AIMS: 4. Investigate the order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide‚ iodide and acid. The goal of this aim is to find out what order of reaction

of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the body by breaking it down into water and oxygen gas. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic by-product of metabolic reactions. If hydrogen peroxide accumulates in the cells‚ it disturbs the function of cells so it is important to get rid of this toxic chemical from the body. One way to avoid the accumulation of H2O2 is to convert it water and oxygen which can be used in other reactions in the cell. In the
