Abstract: Enzymes are part of human’s everyday lives and improve the quality of living. Enzymes decrease activation energy which pertains to how much energy is needed for chemical reactions to take place. Enzymes also known as catalysts is one of the main factors in producing energy in individual’s bodies. The experiment conducted was to test how different temperatures effected the catabolizing of fungal and bacterial amylase‚ as well as the optimal temperature needed for the enzyme to correlate

Ronak Parikh U30682934 Experiment 2: Diels-Alder Reaction: Synthesis of cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicaroboxylic anhydride Introduction: The main goal of this experiment is to perform a Diels-Alder reaction between 2‚3-dimethyl-1‚3-butadiene and maleic anhydride‚ identify the product and hydrolyze to form the dicarboxylic acid. Diels alder reactions are classified as pericyclic reaction‚ which is a reaction which involves a cyclic rearrangement of bonding electrons‚ which means

Abstract:The Wittig Reaction is a nucleophilic addition in which an alkene is formed as a product. Both the E and Z isomers of the alkene result. Substituents on the aromatic aldehyde affect the E/Z ratio of products that form. In this experiment‚ a nitro group was used as the substituent in the ortho‚ meta and para positions‚ with benzaldehyde as the control. Each of the four aldehydes reacted with (carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane to produce ethyl cinnamate‚ ethyl-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate

An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of the Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed‚ resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors: ¡¤ changing the surface area of any solids involved ¡¤ changing the concentration of reactants in solution ¡¤ changing the temperature

Write down the aim of your Investigation. To investigate the effects of change in concentration on the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Briefly describe your Preliminary Experiment and include your results. Explain how these results have helped you plan your main experiment (p8b). An increase in concentration will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction because there will be a greater number of particles per unit/cm3. The particles will be closer together and

SN2 Reactions: Nucleophilic Substitution at Saturated Carbon Date of Experiment: February 6‚ 2008 Objective: The objective of this laboratory experiment is to study both SN1 and SN2 reactions. The first part of the lab focuses on synthesizing 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol by using an SN2 mechanism. The obtained product will then be analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and refractive index. The second part of the lab concentrates on how different factors influence the rate of SN1 reactions. The

In this experiment‚ I am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. I predict the higher the temperature‚ the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat that is given to matter‚ the faster the particles move. This happens in the acid‚ so the faster the particles move‚ the faster the reaction rate due to more collisions between the marble chips and the acid

Affecting Rates of Chemical Reactions Prepared By: Kelly Gunter For: Ms. Brohman Course: SCH-4U Introduction The main purpose of this lab was to investigate how temperature‚ concentration‚ the addition of catalysts‚ and the substitution of a more reactive reactant‚ can affect the reaction. The collision theory explains that in order for a reaction to occur‚ reacting particles must collide with one another. An effective collision makes reactants result in a reaction and for to be successful

AbstractThe rates of reaction of Alkali metals and Alkaline Earth meatals are compared in this lab. The pH of each of the resulting metal solutions are tested and the products of the reaction between calcium and water is discovered. The tested elements are sodium‚ lithium‚ potassium and calcium and each of them were placed in a beaker filled with water. The resulting solutions pH levels were tested with litmus paper. There were more steps for caclium because it is the only Alkaline Earth metal. For
