Link reaction The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and its main function is to turn the pyruvate into acetate for the kerb cycle. During the link reaction the pyruvate molecule undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation‚ the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase remove the carboxyl group (which becomes a carbon dioxide molecule) and removes the hydrogen atoms from the pyruvate molecule. The coenzyme NAD accepts the two hydrogen atoms and becomes reduced

Narendra Boppana‚ Nasser Ali‚ Martin Chavez‚ Sear Introduction: Ion Exchange Chromatography is a process where the ionic exchange occurs in between the stationary phase and the sample in the mobile phase‚ by using this ionic exchange phenomenon it is easy to separate the compounds. Ionic exchange depends on the electrical properties of the anions and cations. Ionic exchange chromatography is important tool in the separation of the charged species mainly in the biological‚ inorganic and environmental

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate equation for the “Iodine Clock Reaction” experiment. The experiment will consider the equations 〖2I〗^-+S_2 O_8→2〖〖SO〗_4〗^(2-)+I_2 and I_2+2〖S_2 O_3〗^(2-)→2I^-+S_4 O_6 in order to determine the rate law of Rate=k[〖〖S_2 O_8〗^(2-)]〗^a 〖[I^-]〗^b by using the experimental data to calculate the values of exponents a and b as well as the rate constant k. Experimental Supplies Needed: 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ 100 mL beaker‚ graduated

due to its many properties as a metal. Although advantageous in today’s economy and also in human bodies‚ high concentrations of copper can prove toxic to our health and even pollutant to the environment. By altering the element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered. Attempting to create a diagram of the ecological cycle of copper must require knowledge about copper’s

the limiting reactant of a chemical reaction that involves iron filings and a copper sulfate solution. Second‚ to determine the mole ratios between iron and copper and to show that a single replacement reaction occurs when iron and copper sulfate react with each other. And lastly‚ to determine/calculate the percent yield to better analyze the chemical reaction between iron and copper sulfate to produce copper and iron sulfate. The method used to perform this lab will be to combine a metal with a solution

Introduction For this experiment‚ we are going to determine the effect of temperature on solubility‚ to be done in a chemical by dissolving a solute in a definite amount of solution which is saturated. Specifically‚ the goal of this experiment is to prepare a saturated solution of Na2C2O4 in water at different temperatures‚ determine the effect of temperature in solubility‚ and to apply Le Chatelier’s Principle. We can do all this by simply titrating a certain amount of standard KMnO4‚ and measuring
