Daniel Kim 12-3-12 HBS‚ period 1 Reaction time experiment Caffeine and Reaction Time 1) Identify the Problem or Question How does the consumption of caffeine affect the reaction time of the nervous system? 2) Introduction Purpose of the experiment: To identify the whether or not caffeine increases or decreases the reaction time of the nervous system. In our experiment‚ we have decided to use all the “cases” which will test how fast a signal from our brain will be sent to our

There are eight types of chemical reactions. These eight reactions are Decomposition‚ Composition‚ Acid/Base‚ Synthesis‚ Single-Replacement‚ Double-Replacement‚ Precipitation‚ and Redox. Though these eight could be referred to as the same due to them being chemical reactions. They are actually very different. An example of this difference is Decomposition and Synthesis. Decomposition is when a compound is broken into smaller chemical species while a Synthesis reaction is two or more chemical species

photoautotrophic nutrition. Carbon dioxide is an energy poor compound which is reduced during photosynthesis There are two main stages: 1. The light dependent reactions that occur on the granal membranes. Pigments are required to absorb and transduce the light energy. Membrane proteins act as electron carriers. 2. The light independent reactions that occur in the stroma of the chloroplast. Chlorophyll and other pigments are grouped together to form a photosystem. There are two photosystems‚ photosystem

Experiment 15 & 16: Preparation of 1-bromobutane‚ an SN2 reaction Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane‚ an SN1 reaction Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol and sodium bromide. In order for this reaction to reach completion there are four major operations that need to be performed. The four major operations include refluxing‚ simple distillation‚ separation‚ and drying. To begin‚ in order for the compounds to react they will be dissolved

Problem: Reaction time can be a very important thing in daily life. Reaction time is not only crucial for an athlete when playing quick sports but the average person will need to use their reaction time in daily life. When an object falls‚ catching the object or when driving‚ having a quick reaction time could be vital to the safety and wellbeing of the driver and the passengers even when it comes down to differences in seconds. In addition‚ there have been many catastrophic events in the

Anaphylactic Reaction An anaphylactic reaction is a sudden‚ severe allergic reaction that involves the whole body. It can be life threatening‚ and usually requires hospitalization. CAUSES This condition is caused by being exposed to a substance that you are allergic to (an allergen). Your body releases chemicals in response to allergens‚ and those chemicals cause the anaphylactic reaction. Common allergens include: • Medicines. • Foods‚ especially peanuts‚ wheat‚ shellfish‚ milk‚ and eggs

concentration of a species can affect reaction rate in the determination of rate law and rate constant. 2. To determine how temperature affects reaction rate. Introduction Chemical kinetics deals with the speed‚ or rate‚ of a reaction and the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. We can think of the rate as the number of events per unit time. The rate at which you drive (your speed) is the number of miles you drive in an hour (mi/hr). For a chemical reaction the rate is the number of moles that

Brittany Martin 2/13/2014 Diels Alder reaction of anthracene and Maleic anhydride Reaction Scheme: Figure one shows the reaction scheme for Diels Alder reaction of anthracene and maleic anhydride Theory/Background: The Diels-Alder reaction was created in 1928 by two German chemists Otto Diels and Kurt Alder (Wade‚ Jr.‚ 2013). This reaction is best used for making six membered rings with different functional groups. The reaction is called a 4+2 cycloaddition because a ring is formed

Observations | Reaction Type | Complete and Balance | 1. When heated in oxygen‚ magnesium gives off a bright white flame. | combination reaction | 2Mg + O2-----> 2MgO | 2. Bubbling and fizzing occurs; the zinc appears to “dissolve” and what appears to be “steam” comes off out of container. | single-displacement reaction | Zn + 2 HCl (aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) | 3. Black smoke occurs | decomposition reactions | 2 (H2O2)(aq) MnO2 2 (H2O) + (O2) | 4. reddish-brown deposit

Endothermic and Exothermic reactions A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are chemically changed into one or more new substances. A chemical reaction may involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds. Therefore when a chemical reaction takes place‚ energy is transferred to‚ or from‚ the environment. A Chemical reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. Exothermic Reactions During an Exothermic Reaction a transfer of energy to the
