Chemistry 1225 Lab Write-Up #13 Abstract Electrolysis is a method of using a direct electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

The refraction of light lab used common materials to examine the process of the refraction of light. The title of this lab is exactly what occurs throughout the four different experiments. All four parts of this lab use prior knowledge to observe the complex concept of refraction. Refraction is the bending of a light when it enters a medium where the speed of light is different. When light enters through the glass and water the speed of light becomes decreased. This is due to the density of water

Lab Report: Scientific Method Your Name: Alyssa Melincoff Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? To find out how table salt affects the boiling temperature of water. Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water? Adding

LOG ON TO SKILLSOFT TO DOWNLOAD THE LAB INSTRUCTIONS AND START THE LAB. In computers binary code is the language that communicated between applications. Binary Code is a coding system using only digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter‚ digit or other characters in a computer. It is hard to imagine that huge and hard calculations are done on computers applications

various conditions in temperature‚ pH level‚ and competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). ABSTRACT: In order to determine the properties of an enzyme‚ a peroxidase enzyme was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip) and tested under various temperatures‚ pH levels‚ and by a competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). The enzyme activity was measured in various ways depending on the activity. Temperature effects showed the amount of activity and determined the optimal pH level. The spectrometer showed

Effects of Temperature and pH on Enzyme Function Chelsie Mesa Section 0479 Robin Cotter Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown enzymes. This is done by using different temperature and pH to affect the function of the enzyme‚ which ultimately‚ will affect how much maltose is produced. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and the enzyme

The Effect of pH on Enzymatic Reaction Rate Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of

Title: The Mass of Quartz Purpose: To determine the density slope for water and alcohol and apply the understanding to determine the volume of a quartz sample without measuring the volume or calculating it. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this lab was by using the density of alcohol we could calculate the density of a quartz samples. Controls and Variables: Independent variable: Volume of water and alcohol Dependent variable: The weight of the liquid or solid Controls: The volume of

October 13‚ 2012 Needle through a Balloon Pre-Lab Preparations: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see if the balloon pops when pierced with a wooden skewer or a sharp pin. Hypothesis: If we lubricate the skewer with petroleum jelly‚ then it should go through the balloon without popping. Hypothesis for the 2nd part of the Lab: If we cover the side of the balloon with cellophane tape‚ then it will not pop when pierced with the pin. Materials: • Balloons • Long wooden
