    EXPERIMENT 1: Aim: To range the metals copper‚ lead‚ silver and zinc together with hydrogen. Start with the strongest reducing agent. Hypothesis: The nobler a metal is‚ the worse reducing agent. Apparatus/requirements: Sandpaper‚ strips of; zinc‚ lead‚ silver and copper‚ solutions containing aqueous; Zn2+‚ Pb2+‚ Cu2+ and Ag+ ions (0.2 M)‚ hydrochloric acid (5.0 M)‚ emery paper‚ test-tubes. Method: Burnish the three metal strips to get a shiny surface‚ after drop a drop of each of the metal

     Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate    II. Introduction  Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚  speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and  oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site.  Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms‚ including chicken liver. The purpose of this  experiment is to determine what changes in pH

    Practical Assessment 2 – The effect of substrate concentration on the rate of enzyme activity of Catalase Aim To investigate the effect of substrate concentration (manipulated by increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide) on the rate of enzyme activity of catalase‚ produced by liver cells‚ on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rates of reactions. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction‚ the substrate binds to the active site

    concentration. Catalase is one of the most common enzymes. It is found in living organisms and is used to break down hydrogen peroxide. This must happen because hydrogen peroxide is considered toxic to cells in the body. However‚ when catalase is used it breaks it down into hydrogen and oxygen‚ which is much safer to have in the body. A substrate is the material that is being broken down. In this case‚ the substrate would be hydrogen peroxide. The catalase‚ located in the liver‚ is being used to

    Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide on the change in reaction rate of liver catalase. Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: If the concentration of the Hydrogen Peroxide is changed then there would be no change in the reaction rate. Alternate Hypothesis 1:  I there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction rate of the liver catalase will increase. Alternate Hypothesis 2: If there is an increase in concentration in concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide then the reaction

    Background Information: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. In high concentrations‚ it can be unstable and even poisonous. In lower concentrations‚ such as the types found in many homes‚ it works well as a disinfectant and antiseptic.The reason behind foaming of Hydrogen peroxide is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells‚ there is lots of catalase floating around.When the catalase comes in contact

    Purpose: Cells produce toxic wastes‚ in this experiment hydrogen peroxide‚ and without some sort of molecule to break it down the cell will die‚ along with the organism itself. However with the aid of an enzyme‚ catalasehydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver‚ a vegetable‚ and breast tissue. By using variables such

    Sample Lab Report: Factors which Affect the Activity of the Enzyme Catalase Purpose: Must include:  background information about concepts involved in the lab‚  statement of purpose of the lab  identification of independent and dependent variables. A hypothesis is often not necessary or appropriate. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells. They break down molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has only one substrate that it breaks down. Enzymes are produced in
