Lab Partner: _____________________________________________________________________ Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Enzyme Activity See Textbook Pg 61. Enzymes are very large complex organic molecules that are synthesized by the cell to perform specific functions. These biological catalysts are important because they speed up the rate of the reaction that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic (O2

Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Salt Ahmed Mohammed 17-nov-2013 Abstract In this experiment‚ you will study the effect of changing temperature on the amount of solutet will dissolve in a given amount of water. In this experiment‚ you will completely dissolve different quantities of potassium nitrate‚ KNO3‚ in the same volume of water at a high temperature. As each solution cools‚ you will monitor temperature using a computer-interfaced Temperature Probe and observe

Size‚ Temperature‚ Concentration‚ and a Catalyst on Reaction Rate Introduction: Chemical reactions can be affected by a number of different factors. Particle size‚ temperature‚ concentration of a solution‚ and catalysts play a big role in the rate of reaction‚ they determine how fast a reaction will occur. According to the collision theory‚ the rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions between particles. Every reaction is different in that they all require different conditions

purpose of laboratory assignment 3 was to measure the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. For the purpose of this lab we measured the rate a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine‚ hydrogen‚ and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this‚ two mixtures were prepared in separate

survival and when this ability is impaired by the presence of Hydrogen ions‚ our cells cannot function properly. This experiment was conducted to determine if the reaction rate changes in response to a variation of acidic‚ neutral‚ and basic solutions. The experimental results indicated that the basic/high pH solution has a faster rate of reaction in the solution. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze and convert molecules into combinations of other molecules which is necessary for the

Hypothesis: I hypothesis that the enzyme concentration will affect the rate of reaction but only up until a certain point because there is a limited supply of substrate. Enzymes are protein molecule that acts as biological catalyst by increasing the rate of reactions without changing the overall process. They are long chain amino acids bound together by peptide bonds. Enzymes are seen in all living cells and controlling the metabolic processes in which they converted nutrients into energy and new

Purpose: To determine the effect of various factors on the rate of reaction between an enzyme andits substrate‚ and also to determine the optimal ranges under which the enzyme activity ismaximized. Also to determine whether saline and alcohol are inhibitors or activators Hypothesis: PH factor prediction: I predict that as the pH increases so the activity of the enzyme willincrease until it reaches optimum pH range (pH 7) because the enzyme is less denaturedwhen it reaches the preferred pH level
