Chemist from the University of Glasgow in Scotland have taken a step closer towards producing clean hydrogen fuel in a maintainable way. Hydrogen gas is able to be burned to generate electricity without producing lethal releases‚ unlike fossil fuels. It is produced from water releasing them as gas‚ through a process called electrolysis‚ which uses electricity to break the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. This technique is 30 times faster than the current method‚ and can be powered by renewable

Chemical Kinetic Models Simplified Global Chemical Kinetic Model In order to compare the two reactors used in our experiment‚ a simplified global kinetic model was used to describe the DRM reaction behavior in different plasma reactor. This model was already used by authors in the field of pollutant removal by using a plasma reactor [15‚ 21–23]. It is generally accepted that free radical processes are the main mechanisms in non-equilibrium plasma reaction [21‚ 24-25]. The chemical kinetics model

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

Chemical Kinetics‚ A Clock Reaction Abstract The purpose for the experiment Chemical Kinetics‚ a clock reaction is to figure out the reaction rate of a solution regarding its concentration‚ temperature‚ and also determine the effects of when a catalyst is present. The experiment resulted that the concentration‚ as well as its temperature can affect the rate constant inversely the outcome of the rate constant. By conducting the experiment‚ it is also discovered that the rate order of the reaction

Reetika Kashyap September 20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that

Abstract This experiment is to study and measure the enzyme activity of β-galactosidase in the different concentrations of o-Nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) using a spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer was also set at 420nm‚ a wavelength which is best for recording the absorbance values for the experiment. From the results‚ 0.9mM ONPG solution has the highest absorbance and 0.1mM ONPG solution has the least. Also‚ 0.5mM ONPG solution has the highest rate of enzyme activity and it is the most efficient

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving
