Chemical reaction being tested was how fast the hydrogen peroxide could turn into water and oxygen. The theory that was being tested was; Enzymes speed up reactions. The facts that I wanted to determine were matches making the chemical reaction happen quicker or not. Materials: -Test Tubes -Chicken Liver -Sand -Ice -Glass Stirring Rod -Hydrochloric Acid -Hydrogen Peroxide Procedure: 1) Put on safety goggles 2) Get test tubes 3) Put chicken liver in 5 of 6 test tubes‚ an sand in all of the

Part one 1. a) When hydrogen peroxide was added to manganese‚ tiny bubbles formed in the solution- intensity of (1). b)The solution did not change in temperature. c) The bubbles stopped forming after about 18 minutes. 2. After we added 2 more mL of hydrogen peroxide‚ the reaction occurred again. Again‚ small bubbles formed; intensity of (1). The solution did not change in temperature. The reaction lasted about 15 minutes. 3. After adding more manganese dioxide‚ the reaction occurred again. This

Hydrogen peroxide is a substance that contains two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid and does not react formally with base substances. Catalase is found in many foods like beef liver‚ carrots‚ wheat sprouts‚ and potatoes‚ and more. Catalase is released when a protein is coming into the stomach a protein catalase goes and transforms the protein into food for human’s internal cells. Bubbles in an experiment where a raw potato is put into hydrogen peroxide

Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules change. Bonds between

on the reaction rate of an enzyme IB biology Internal Assessment 3/23/12 Research Question: Effect of changes in substrate concentration amount on the reaction rate of an enzyme Introduction: In this experiment‚ the substrate is hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this investigation is to find out the relationship between the substrate concentration and the rate of reaction. Substrates are molecules that are acted upon by enzymes. For instance‚ amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ helps

was performed by adding hydrogen peroxide to sand. Due to the fact that the sand was not soluble in the hydrogen peroxide‚ no reaction thus no catalyst were present. Manganese dioxide was also added to the hydrogen peroxide creating a moderately fast reaction thus leading to believe that an enzyme was present to lower the activation energy and speed up the reaction. When the manganese dioxide was added to the hydrogen peroxide it catalyzes and breaks down the hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas thus creating

The effect of time on enzyme reaction. Abstract: In this lab investigation we will observe how the amount of hydrogen peroxide is affected by catalase over time. The enzyme was added to 10 mL’s of hydrogen peroxide and observed over time to determine the relation between time and enzyme activity. The hypothesis stated that as time increased substrate would decrease. Therefore I predicted that at 60 seconds‚ there would be the least amount of H2O2. The enzyme activity mirrored my predictions

effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures that are neither freezing nor boiling‚ catalase performs well

environmental factors help enzymes break down the poisonous chemicals into harmless substance. When we tested the liver with 2ml of hydrogen peroxide for a normal reaction it showed that it was exothermic. We added more hydrogen peroxide and the reaction rate of the liver was 3. We learned that the catalase is reusable because the liver reacted both times when we put in the hydrogen peroxide. We also tested another enzyme reaction for pH. In this test we learned that high pH equal high reaction rate
