Title: The affects of hydrogen peroxide on catalase reactions in animal and plant cells at different temperatures and states. Introduction: All living organisms in the kingdoms of life are composed of and depend on cells to function normally. Not all cells‚ however‚ are alike. There are two primary types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Cells contain organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures‚ that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. (Regina Bailey Updated

mol-1) of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and water (H2O) by catalyzed by catalase‚ by measuring the time taken for 10cm3 of oxygen gas to be evolved (s) at different temperatures (K) of 297.0K‚ 300.0K‚ 303.0K‚ 306.0K and 309.0K? 1: INTRODUCTION When studying the function of catalysts in reactions during the kinetics unit‚ I was eager to know more about the position of enzymes‚ which function as biological catalysts in biological systems. After doing some further research

compare that relative reactivity of Na and k -Sodium and potassium react somewhat similar when reacting with water however they are slightly different. Sodium moves because of the hydrogen coming off of it and has a low melting point while potassium’s reaction is faster and enough heat is produced to set light to the hydrogen coming off of it. Each leaves a pink color hue in the water. Discuss the similarities and differences in the behavior of the metals tested with water relative to their positions

If pH > pI‚ then the protein will have a negative charge and if pH < pI‚ the protein will have a positive charge. Buffer I has a pH >5‚ meaning both proteins carry a negative charge and bind to the DEAE (a positively charged resin). (b) pH = pKa + log10(Base/Acid) [Base = mM of sodium acetate; Acid = mM of acetic acid] = 4.7 + log10 (40/40) = 4.7 In order for the catalase to elute from the column‚ it must have lost its negative charge and stopped binding to the DEAE.

affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

Rate of Reaction Introduction Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)‚ is the most simple peroxide and commonly used in several household items such as toothpaste or as an alternative to bleach. However hydrogen peroxide it is a very dangerous substance when accumulated in large amounts. If that situation occurs this substance must be decomposed. But how can we decompose this reaction? Well it decomposes by itself very slowly (2H2O2(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + O2(g))‚ but that would take too long. This reaction can be sped

Examples of synthesis reactions: 1. Metal + oxygen → metal oxide EX. 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) 2. Nonmetal + oxygen → nonmetallic oxide EX. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) 3. Metal oxide + water → metallic hydroxide EX. MgO(s) + H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(s) 4. Nonmetallic oxide + water → acid EX. CO2(g) + H2O(l) → ; H2CO3(aq) 5. Metal + nonmetal → salt EX. 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s) 6. A few nonmetals combine with each other. EX. 2P(s) + 3Cl2(g) →

a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously or non-spontaneously is an important aspect of thermodynamics. Spontaneity is determined from free energy‚ or Gibbs free energy. The equation (1) gives the relationship of how entropy (∆S) and enthalpy (∆H) along with temperature affects the amount of free energy‚ and henceforth the spontaneity. A spontaneous process may be quick or slow‚ and it is only affected by temperature and energy‚ therefore it is not related to kinetics or reaction rate. equation

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

The lab today was focused on finding the ratio of reactants to products to be either 1 to 1 or 1 to 2. In our case the reactants was Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodine. These two when mixed together make Lead Iodide and Potassium Nitrate. We also had to try and find if the number of moles of Lead(II) Nitrate was the same as the final number of moles for Lead Iodine after the experiment. Our data for the lab had pinpoint accuracy. Proved by the data table below Trials Volume of Pb(NO3)2 Mol
