Enzyme lab report. Introduction. An enzyme is a protein molecule that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by many folds. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change thus can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy also known as an energy barrier is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. Catecholase catalyzes the reaction rate of catechol oxidation. Catechol is found beneath the skin of many plants such

(50%). Although this information is reported‚ the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin‚ Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove valuable in identification of the unknown component‚ as well as the true percent composition of each component of Panacetin. This experiment involves two parts‚ covering a few required techniques to be learned

Behavior of Gases and Absolute Zero Determination Lab Report Experiment 4 Introduction In this experiment we measured the relationship between temperature‚ volume‚ and pressure. Objectives: Conduct a set of experiments‚ each of which illustrates a gas law. Gather data to identify the gas law described by each activity. Complete the calculations necessary to evaluate the gas law in each activity. From your results‚ derive a single mathematical relationship that relates pressure‚ volume‚ and

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

1310 Instructor: Dr. Gao Laboratory Assistant: Lauren February 7‚ 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the molar mass of an unknown solid. The freezing point of a solvent (Cyclohexane) was determined‚ and compare to the freezing point of Cyclohexane with the addition of two different concentration of unknown solid. The pure substance of Cyclohexane has defined physical properties. However‚ when a solute is added these properties are determined by the amount of solute

Catalase Lab Purpose: To observe the effects of hydrogen peroxide on living tissue and non-living materials‚ showing the presence or absence of catalase as observed by the presences of bubbles. Hypothesis: If we pour H2O2 on certain substances‚ the catalase will break down and bubbles will appear at the surface. Data table: Name | Time | Observation | Raw Potato | 1 min. 30 sec. | Slow reaction‚ barley any bubbles. | Raw Liver | 5 min. 30 sec. | Extremely fast reaction‚ very foamy‚ Big

Human ECG Abstract The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore‚ the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as‚ in the right and left ankles. Finally‚ the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate. Introduction

After obtaining the pure compound‚ a melting point determination procedure can be done using a mel-temp device to correctly identify the compound if its identity is unknown. In this experiment‚ the identity of a given unknown organic solid will be discovered using the methods of recrystallization and melting point determination. Safety Information • Be sure to add a boiling chip to any liquid before heating it. • Always wear department approved
