Sodium‚ one of many elements in the periodic table is being used in everyday life‚ it is also an essential element within your body. It is just another element‚ but one of the differences is that this element is something that most people consume every day. Sodium has played an important role in everyday life because of its uses in medicine‚ industry‚ and agriculture(Shriver). Sodium was discovered in 1807 by a man named Sir Humphrey Davy. He was well known for his discoveries of most alkali metals

aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect that a glucose concentration has on the rate of fermentation. This was done by adding a variety of different glucose concentration into a test tube‚ siting in a water bath. The carbon dioxide would be collected in the test tube and therefore would measure the rate of fermentation. The results parsley supported the hypothesis that‚ “If the glucose concentration increases‚ the rate of fermentation increases‚ therefore the more carbon dioxide released”

Measuring Reaction Rate using Volume of Gas Produced By John Doe 23th October 2012 Introduction An essential element of chemistry is finding reaction rates. This is because chemists need to know how long a reaction should take. In addition to needing to know the rate of a reaction at any point in time to monitor how the reaction is proceeding. Many factors effect reaction rates‚ two shown above include temperature and concentration. Concentration affects the rate of reactions because the

of ATP‚ Adenosine Triose Phosphate. This occurs by converting glucose into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix via active transport. Numerous reactions‚ catalyzed by a multi enzyme complex then occur‚ where the pyruvate is decarboxylated as shown in the reaction below. Pyruvate + NAD* + CoA ? acetyl CoA + reduced NAD + Carbon Dioxide This experiment shall be carried out via the manometric technique‚ where there are two different environments with

accomplished this goal by creating five reactions containing Sodium Sulfate that would confirm our compound and show its chemical properties. In each reaction‚ we replaced the presence of Sodium Sulfate with our unknown. Our first reaction was the reaction from the sulfate anion test between Sodium Sulfate and Barium Chloride. If the compound was in fact Sodium Sulfate it would produce a white precipitate and it did. The second reaction was first between Sodium Sulfate and Hydrochloric Acid‚ and then

Enzyme Reaction Rates Under Different Conditions Introduction In this lab you will observe how the rate of a reaction is changed as certain factors are changed. You will observe how changing factors like temperature‚ pH‚ substrate concentration‚ and enzyme concentration changes the rate of an enzymatic reaction. In this experiment you will act as an enzyme by breaking toothpicks witch act as substrates. After observing the results of this experiment you will be able to determine what causes the

In the experiment‚ as the size of the cube decreased‚ the absorption rate increased‚ showing that the smaller cells absorbed more sodium hydroxide than bigger cells. The smaller cells were able to absorb more sodium hydroxide as they have a bigger surface area to volume ratio causing them to act more efficiently than the bigger cells. The smallest cell had a ratio of 1:12 while the biggest cell had a ratio of 1:2‚ leaving a gap of 5:12 causing the bigger cell to act less efficient in absorbing the

Analysis of Soda Ash and Carbonate-Bicarbonate Mixture Submitted: February 27‚ 2013 Department of Chemical Engineering‚ Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila Abstract A standard acid solution like HCl can be used as titrant for the analysis of both soda ash and a carbonate-bicarbonate mixture. In the analysis of soda ash‚ the volume needed to neutralize the soda ash is used to compute for its alkalinity‚ in this experiment we obtained a 17.6 % alkalinity with an error
