-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zinc and hydrochloric acid In the lab‚ zinc granules react fairly slowly with dilute hydrochloric acid‚ but much faster if the acid is concentrated. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide Solid manganese(IV) oxide is often used as a catalyst in this reaction. Oxygen is given off much faster if the hydrogen peroxide is concentrated than if it is dilute. The reaction between sodium thiosulphate solution and

Chemistry Write-Up The Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Aim: When Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3) is heated‚ Carbon dioxide and water are given off to leave a white powder. The aim is to find the equations for this reaction. Hypothesis: The experiment will prove which of the equations below is true. It will tell us whether Sodium Carbonate is produced or Sodium Oxide. 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O 2NaHCO3 Na2O + 2CO2 + H2O Variables: Independent: Original

Grass Decomposition Lab Problem: How do temperature‚ sunlight‚ amount of moisture‚ and presence of oxygen affect the decomposition of grass? Controlled Variable: Amount of grass and water in each container. Independent Variable: temperature‚ sunlight‚ amount of moisture‚ presence of oxygen. Dependent Variable: decomposition rate of grass. Hypothesis: I believe that there will be the most decomposition in high temperatures‚ low sunlight‚ low amount of moisture‚ and high presense

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to investigate and demonstrate hydrogen bonding and London dispersion bonding in water and rubbing alcohol. Hypothesis: I believe water will have the greater surface tension because rubbing alcohol’s density is lower than water’s. Materials: * Water * Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) * Pennies * Paper clips * Flasks * Cups or jars * Wax paper * Eyedropper Procedures: Part 1: Surface tension and vortex: * Fill

Kinetic Theory Objectives • Describe how the kinetic-molecular theory is used to explain how gases behave at different temperatures. (Exploration 1) • Analyze data that shows how gas particle mass affects that gas’s behavior. (Exploration 2) • Describe the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. (Explorations 1 and 2) Description of Activity The kinetic-molecular theory states that a collection of gas molecules’ average kinetic energy has a specific value at any given temperature

The actual rate of a chemical reaction however is dependent on two things; the temperature the actual experiment is performed at‚ and the concentration pertaining to the reactants. The rate of a reaction more often

between volume of oxygen and the increase of hydrogen peroxide; as the amount of substrate increases‚ the more oxygen is produced from the enzymatic reaction of hydrogen peroxide. For example‚ when five drops of hydrogen peroxide was added‚ it can be seen that 16.2mL of oxygen collected in the gas syringe‚ whilst when 15 drops were added‚ 96.4mL of oxygen was indicated‚ strongly supporting the original hypothesis‚ which was that as more hydrogen peroxide was added to the yeast‚ the higher the rate

Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

Melissa Cavanaugh Lab: Tuesdays at 1pm Enzyme Kinetics Lab Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that will catalyze reactions to make the rate of the reaction occur faster than it would without. It can also make the reaction occur in the first place. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that has a variety of functions and activities. It produces pigments like melanin and others that would be apparent when a fruit is cut in half and it browns. (Bien-etre 3).There is that one function that stands out and the enzyme
