Observing the and determining the reaction rate of photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is

Kinetics of the Persulfate – iodide Clock Reaction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate law and the activation energy for the reaction between persulfate ion‚ S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-: S2O82-(aq) + 2 I-(aq) 2 SO42-(aq) + I2(aq) The rate law can be written as Reaction rate = (1) Where m and n are the orders with respect to S2O82- and I-‚ respectively‚ and k is the rate constant. Determining the rate law involves determining the values of m and

Preparation of Sodium Chloride through titration Abstract: acid-base titration is a technique commonly used to determine the moles of acid in a sample by adding a known volume of strong base of a known concentration. The strong base provides the hydroxide ion‚ to react quantitatively with the acid. The point at which the acid is completely and exactly consumed the known quantity of base is called the equivalence end point and is signalled by a colour change in the solution (end point). This colour

ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is reduced or can be stopped if the temperature becomes

An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of the Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed‚ resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors: ¡¤ changing the surface area of any solids involved ¡¤ changing the concentration of reactants in solution ¡¤ changing the temperature

increase the reaction rate. This will result in the particles colliding more frequently and increasing the speed of the reaction. Also when they have more energy there will be more chance of the collisions being successful because the activation energy will be attainable. Hypothesis: In a reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ the products calcium chloride‚ carbon dioxide and water are formed. I predict that the higher temperature of HCl acid‚ the higher the reaction rate will be

Biomes Comparison Essay Ecologists group earth’s diverse environments into biomes. A biome is a complex of terrestrial communities that develops a large area and is characterized by certain soil climate conditions and particular assemblages of plants and animals. Not all species live in every biome they vary in their adaptations to different conditions. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. These sorts of variations in plants

During the reaction of the acids (HCl and H2SO4) with sodium hydroxide‚ we monitored the temperature change‚ since chemical reactions always absorb or liberate heat energy as they occur. Besides‚ the amount of heat transferred is proportional to the amount of the product that has been formed. By performing several reactions of HCl and H2SO4 with the base NaOH in which the amount varies‚ we determined the stoichiometric ratio in which these substances react. We start by monitoring the reaction of HCl
