Reaction Rates of Barley Alpha Amylase with Starch at Specific pH ’s and Temperatures Page 1 Abstract Enzyme ’s are used as catalysts in certain reactions. They help lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to go to completion. At optimum temperature and pH the amount of collisions of substrate and enzyme is at its highest‚ any deviation from the optimum temperature and pH will result in the denaturization of the enzyme. The purpose of this experiment is to find the optimum

thiosulfate solution on the rate of the reaction when reacting with dilute hydrochloric acid. It is hypothesized that as the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution increases‚ the rate of the reaction will also increase proportionately. Variables The independent variable is concentration. This will be varied by increments of 10mL (10mL to 50mL) and distilled water will be added accordingly to maintain a constant volume of 50mL. The dependent variable is the rate of the reaction. This will be indirectly

Rate of Reaction Experiment Introduction : in this term in chemistry class I was learning about rate of reaction. As defined by the Britannica encyclopedia‚ a chemical reaction is a process where one or more substances (reactants) are converted to one or more different products because of the rearrangement of atoms of the reactants. For the reaction to occur‚ the particles must collide with each other and in order to succeed there must be enough energy for the collision because a collision with little

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

Factors Affecting Reaction Rate Bob Jones Josh October 2‚ 2014 Period 3 Introduction: In reference to the collision theory‚ molecules act as small spheres that collide and bounce off each other‚ transferring energy among themselves when the collide. In order for a reaction to occur‚ there must be collisions between molecules. Through experimentation‚ factors are discovered that influence the reaction rates of chemical reactions include the concentration

Given the evidence‚ it can be determined that a reaction will occur when reactants have a kinetic energy greater than the activation energy‚ this is a theory of collision theory. For example‚ in the first experiment‚ the test tube filled with 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide and had scoop of manganese dioxide‚ had a greater reaction than the other test tube. Which simply contained 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The factor that affected the reaction rate was that the manganese was seen as a catalyst.

Evaluation is more subjective‚ since it involves human judgment. We make evaluations of people and their performance not only in school‚ but also on the job and at home. As teachers‚ we strive to reduce the chance for misjudgment in the evaluation of students Reasons for evaluation According to Robert Slavin there are five reasons for evaluation and these are: 1.) Motivation of students – rewards for good work can stimulate further good work. 2.) Feedback to students- evaluation can reveal strengths

found that‚ in acidic pH environment‚ the reaction rate of starch being broken down by alpha amylase is less than that of the reaction rate at a neutral and slightly basic pH environment. This finding partially supports our hypothesis. The spectrophotometer readings in our experiment measured the absorbance of 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid‚ a colored molecule formed after dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) has reacted with the products of the enzymatic reaction or the simple sugars. Therefore‚ the absorbance
