environments affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

Abstract We performed two trials of nine different variables of reactions to determine what increases/decreases reaction rates. The variables we used are hot/cold and room temperature water‚ a equal mixture of HCL and water‚ A equal mixture of NaOH and water‚ either a whole‚ broken‚ or finely crushed Alka-seltzer tablet. The fastest rate average was at 0.04 s (finely crushed Alka-seltzer with room temp. water). The slowest rate average is 8.02 s (Alka-seltzer with cold water). Introduction

Factors Affecting Reactions I. Factors Affecting Reactions [545] • Every chemical proceeds at its own rate. • By changing the conditions of the reaction‚ the rate of almost any reaction can be modified. • The rate of a chemical reaction depends upon: o Temperature o Concentration o Particle Size[SA] o Catalyst A. Temperature [545] • Increasing the temperature causes molecules to move faster‚ so there’s an increased chance of them colliding

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? Poorly Pondweed Questions 1) How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? 2) How does temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis? sunlight carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen chlorophyll sunlight 6CO2 + 6H2O àààààà C6H12O6 + 602 chlorophyll Prediction I predict that the more intense the light‚ the higher the rate of photosynthesis. To photosynthesise‚ plants need light. It provides the energy for the process

The Effects that 1%‚ 4%‚ and 16% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Concentration Had on the Rate of Reaction of Catecholase Enzymes in a Potato (Solanum tuberosum). Abstract Enzymes are a key component of a cell. They make chemical reactions happen faster because they lower the activation energy to make the chemical reaction occur. Most of the time‚ it is best if enzymes produce as efficiently as possible‚ but in some cases it is better if they do not‚ when dealing with potatoes (Solanum tuberosum).

change in the earth and what it does to the concentration in the oceans water. When global changes occur‚ they don’t only change that one thing it changes many things. Such as concentration in the water. For example‚ when heavy machinery or facilities burn fossil fuels‚ which releases more carbon dioxide in the air‚ the ocean sucks it up and the acidity in the water completely changes even if it goes up by .1 or .2 percent it’s still a lot and will affect all the life in the water.

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

6.1.1 If the reaction produces heat (increases the temperature of the surroundings) then it’s exothermic. If it decreases the temp (i.e. absorbs heat) then it’s endothermic. Also‚ the yield of an equilibrium reaction which is exothermic will be increased if it occurs at low temps‚ and so for endothermic reactions at high temperatures. 6.1.2 Exothermic : A reaction which produces heat. Endothermic : A reaction which absorbs heat. Enthalpy of reaction : The change in internal energy (H) through

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 very slowly (2H2O2(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + O2(g))‚ but that would take too long. This reaction can
