affecting the catalytic decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide Please refer to the additional files for tables/graphs. Aim- The purpose of this investigation is to investigate how certain factors affect the catalytic decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide. I will investigate the effect of altering the mass of catalyst used on the rate of the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide. Introduction- The decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide is a process by which Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and Oxygen. It

Catalase Experiment Research Question: How does the weight of a piece of liver (0.4g‚ 0.8g‚ 1.2g and 1.6g in this case) affect the amount of gas created after 2 minutes when combined with hydrogen peroxide? Aim: To see find out how the amount of catalase correlates with the amount of gas created when in combination with hydrogen peroxide. Materials: 15g of liver 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide 1 scale 1 bucket 1 100ml graduated cylinder 1 250ml flask with bung 1 50cm tube (able to fix onto top of flask)

decided to do my experiment on chicken livers. It was interesting to do this experiment on chicken livers. The results were that since there is DNA I needed to stir the ingredients slowly and do the experiment as quickly as I can due to the fact that there are enzyme in the cells. I found out that liquid detergent is an active agent which the detergent destroy the cell membrane and also the protein. Abstract I chose to do my experiment on chicken livers to see what the results would be
Premium Chemistry Experiment Hypothesis
Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred

First recognized as a chemical compound in 1818‚ hydrogen peroxide is a clear‚ colorless liquid most often used for cleaning or disinfecting(Britannica‚ 2013). Since pure hydrogen peroxide is unstable‚ it is found in stores as an aqueous solution. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H₂O₂ which means there are two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms in the compound(Liebeskind‚ 2013). Seed germination is simply the process in which a seedling sprouts from a seed and begins it’s growth. The

Chemistry Catalyst Report Aim I am trying to investigate the effect of the mass of magnesium dioxide used on the speed of the reaction of 2H2O2(aq) 2H2O(l) + O2(g). I hypothesize that the speed of the reaction is proportional to the rate of decomposition. Independent Variable The mass of MnO2 used Dependent Variable The rate of decomposition through the amount of mass lost Controlled Variables Environment of the experiment Stay in the same place to carry out the experiment and finish the

this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)‚ and reacted
