Catalysis Lab: Laboratory Write Up Problem/Question: What happens to the amounts of gas produced in a catalyzed reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide when the catalyst is mixed with an acid? Theory/Hypothesis: In this experiment the researcher and their team will be performing tests on a catalyst (proteins found in potato) to see what will happen when the catalyst in a Hydrogen Peroxide reaction is treated with an acid before the reaction occurs. The researcher hypothesizes that the after treating the catalyst

acidification is found to cause loss of viability of probiotic bacteria. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus produces sufficient hydrogen peroxide to display inhibition of probiotic. Accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in growth media can happen because lactobacilli do not have catalase enzyme responsible for degradation of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide and other toxic oxygenic metabolites such as superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical can react with other components eventually

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF CATALASE REACTION IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTRODUCTION Enzymes function similarly to a lock a key mechanism where only one specific key will work (U and Fischer‚ 1994). An enzyme is a macromolecule that acts to increase the rate of either a substrate breaking down into two or more products‚ or where two substrates join up to form one product (Dundon‚ 2018). These enzymes perform this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur under normal

is often used to speed up the rate in which a reaction occurs by lowering the activation energy without completely altering the results of the reaction. In chemical reactions such as the one performed its used to breakdown hydrogen peroxide to form two separate molecules hydrogen(H2) and oxygen (O2) (Kohen‚ 2015). Catalase are found within the cells of living tissue/cells (Kohen‚ 2015). Although only adding catalase‚ varying the concentration of substrate‚ and varying temperature were tested in this

BRIGGS RAUSCHER OSCILLATING CLOCK COURSEWORK Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. To investigate the order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide and ethanoic acid (acetic acid) by the use of an oscillating clock reaction. To determine the activation enthalpy with and without catalytic ions and use this to compare the effectiveness. To investigate the rate equation‚ rate constant and possible mechanism for this reaction. Background research: The Briggs-Rauscher

The reaction is shown below: H2O2 O2 + H2O Cells make hydrogen peroxide as a normal product of metabolism. But it is toxic to the cell if it builds up. Therefore‚ all cells produce catalase to get ride of hydrogen peroxide. In the following experiment‚ we will use liver as a source of catalase. Before you do

Catalysis which involves the use of a catalyst in a different phase from the reactants is known as heterogeneous catalysis. Catalysts are known to enhance rates of reaction without being consumed and they also reduce activation energies. The hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction catalyzed in the presence of black‚ insoluble MnO2 solids has been investigated in this experiment. Parts 1A and 2A of the experiment are carried out at 25°C and 4°C‚ respectively. The same method and temperatures has been
