This experiment shows the effects of changing the pH level has on Catalase. As predicted‚ the farther away the pH levels got from the optimum pH (7.2)‚ the lower the reaction rate. At a pH of 7.2‚ the foam of the reaction measures 6cm. At a ph of 3 it measures 2.5 cm‚ at a pH of 5 it measures 2.75 cm‚ at ph 9 it measures 2.3 and at 11cm it measures 2cm. pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration of a substrate. By changing the pH of the catalase‚ the enzyme was denatured. Denaturing is the result

Is Organic Food Worth It? Organic farming began in the late 1940’s in the United States‚ and in recent years it has seen a dramatic increase in popularity. The sales of organic food have been increasing by about 20 percent a year over the past decade. The general belief is that organic items tend to be better for the consumer and the environment when compared to non-organic items. Organic foods are produced without the use of most synthetic fertilizers‚ sewage sludge‚ pesticides‚

Chemistry 121 Colligative Properties Lab Demonstration of Selected Calculations from Choice I Determination of Kf for Naphthalene To determine the Kf for naphthalene‚ we need to find the difference in the freezing point of pure naphthalene and the solution of 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in naphthalene. Let’s say that we did this experiment‚ used 1.00 g 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in 10.00 g naphthalene‚ and found that the freezing temperature of pure naphthalene was 78.2°C‚ while that of the solution was 75

The purpose of this lab was to see which solutions are soluble and which are not. We were able to see this by mixing certain solutions together and observing changes that occurred. The procedure for this experiment included a few different steps. The first steps were to add the nitrate solutions into the lettered parts of the 96-well plate. Once you were done with that‚ you were supposed to add the sodium solutions to the numbered parts of the 96-well plate‚ so that the solutions were added together

Most grocery stores now sell food products labeled “organic” due to the increase of demand. Organic food became popular in the 1990’s and has since remained a trend. Although there are more and more supermarkets stocking organic food products on their shelves‚ non-organic food products seem to outnumber the amount of organic food products. Organic food products are labeled with a green and brown sticker that says USDA ORGANIC. When most Americans see this label they think that what they are buying

Organic Foods: Are they worth it? Organic foods cost more than regular food‚ but are they worth it? Is it really better for your health? And are they really more nutritious? Should you buy organic food even though you are a student and has very little money? These are all questions that have probably passed through your mind now that you no longer have your parents to go grocery shopping and cook for you. But because there are no research that can prove that eating organic is healthier‚ and there

The general belief is that organic items tend to be better for the consumer and the environment when compared to non-organic items. Although many people cant tell the difference‚ there are multiple pros and cons between organic and nonorganic. In terms of consumer health‚ both organic and processed foods have their benefits. The benefits of processed foods are that scientists can place additives that increase the
