Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine: the coefficient of friction between a rubber stopper and a wooden ramp the coefficient of static friction between a wooden block and a wooden ramp the coefficient of kinetic friction between a wooden block and a wooden ramp The design of this experiment was done by placing a rubber stopper / wooden block onto a wooden ramp and tilting the ramp at a certain degree to cause the stopper / block to move. The measurements of the vertical distance

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Kinetics of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Lab Introduction: In this week’s lab experiment‚ the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide forming oxygen gas will be observed and studied. Since the rate of a chemical reaction is dependent on two things; the concentrations of the reactants and the temperature at which the process is performed‚ the rate can be measured at which a reactant disappears or at which a product appears. When measuring the rate‚ the rate law will be applied. The

Enzyme Kinetics Marcos‚ Nelissa S. Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines ABSTRACT The rationale of the experiment is basically founded in the concept of reaction rates as affected by enzyme‚ and how the enzyme works is competed by a competitive inhibitor‚ thereby impeding the forward reaction. In this experiment‚ o-diphenol oxidase‚ an enzyme that causes the browning in fruits‚ was extracted from banana and reaction rate of this was established

Reactivity of Halide Ions Purpose: There are four halide salts used in this experiment that are found in the human body. Sodium fluoride is poisonous‚ but has been traced to be beneficial to humans in the prevention of tooth decay. Sodium chloride is added to many of our foods to increase flavor. Sodium chloride is important for many life processes‚ but too much intake is linked to high blood pressure. Sodium bromide is distributed throughout body tissues. Sodium iodine controls cell growth. The

restricted to iron or products made from it .Iron is easily prone to rusting making its surface rough. Chemically‚ rust is a hydrated ferric oxide Titanic‘s bow exhibiting microbial corrosion damage in the form of ‘rusticles’ Rusting an Electrochemical Mechanism ; Rusting may be explained by an electrochemical mechanism. In the presence of moist air containing dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide‚ the commercial iron behave as if composed of small electrical cells. At anode of cell‚ iron passes into

Experiment 9 Empirical Formula of Zinc Iodide Objectives Upon completion of this experiment‚ students should have learned: 1. The law of conservation of mass. 2. How to calculate an empirical formula. 3. The concept of limiting reagents. Introduction Synthesis and the determination of empirical formulas are two extremely important parts of chemistry. In this experiment‚ you will synthesize zinc iodide and determine its empirical formula. The molecular formula gives the actual

Use the knowledge of kinetics to explain each of the following statements. a. An increase in temperature at which a reaction takes place causes an increase in reaction rate . An increase in temperature means increasing the energy of the molecules present. If the molecules has more energy ‚ then more of the them will collide often with enough energy ‚ to overcome the activation energy barrier. causing the reaction to proceed more quickly. b.An addition of the catalyst increases the rate at which

CHEMICAL KINETICS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The balanced equation of the reaction between sodium thiosulfate and Hydrochloric acid is: S2O32- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) SO2 (g) + S (s) +H2O (l) Using beakers with the same diameter was very important in conducting the experiment. If different sizes were used‚ the visibility of the “x” on the paper beneath the beaker could disappear from view too early or too late than the hypothetical time depending on the depth of the solution. It was also significant
