temperature on reactions between the enzyme catalase found in animal tissue with the substrate H2O2. The hypothesis stated that an increase in the temperature of the substrate would create a subsequent increase in the rate of reaction between the enzyme and the substrate. This hypothesis was tested by immersing 1cm cubes of animal tissue (sheep liver) which contained the enzyme catalase into the substrate (H2O2 ) mixed with detergent which foamed showing a visual display of the reaction. After 10 seconds

Introduction The Diels-Alder Reaction is a reaction used in organic chemistry that builds rings very efficiently (1)‚ this cycloaddition process allows for the stereoselective formation of cyclohexene rings possessing as many as four contiguous stereogenic centers (3). This reaction occurs without intermediates‚ in a single step‚ which explains the stereospecificity due to substituents not being given the chance to “switch around”. (1)These six membered rings are synthesized by reacting a dienophile

Energy‚ often in the state of heat‚ is involved in chemical reactions and phases changes. Changes in energy‚ can translate in temperature differentiations. In such a case‚ energy is transferred as heat. The quantity of heat exerted in a reaction referred to as (joules) can be identified through the following equation: Heat Exerted= (Mass of Sample) x (Specific Heat) x (Change in Temperature) q=msΔT Within a calorimeter is where the reactions within this lab take place. A calorimeter allows the quantity

Biology coursework How does the temperature affect the rate of reaction? Introduction For our experiments‚ I was investigating what affects the rate of reaction. We used Hydrogen peroxide to test the rate of reaction‚ with the temperature of this being our variable that we changed. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear‚ colourless liquid which has various amounts of uses within the laboratory‚ industrial purposes and even in our households. It is mainly used for cleaning products and hair dye but is

The error in this step was caused by the variable heating of the solution to prevent bubbling of the solution. The reaction of copper with nitric acid resulted in a brown toxic gas‚ As the copper dissolved‚ the solution slowly turned blue because of the copper ions. this is the balanced equation for the reaction Cu(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)---> Cu2+(aq) +2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) The reaction of aq copper nitrate with sodium hydroxide was the turning of the solution to a blue color‚ when water was added a

Experiment 1 Simple Reaction Time Abstract Summary The Research Instructor conducted an experiment about Simple Reaction Time. The Subject hold the timer while the Experimenter gave a go signal‚ and the Subject started the timer and shared stories. The Recorder used a cell phone to track the time. The Subject was not able to see the timer‚ and also the data that was being recorded. This was performed forty-five trials. Afterwards‚ the Experimenter and the Subject switched roles and performed ten

Chemical Reactions and their Classifications 26 October 2012 Abstract: Ordinary laboratory ware was used to determine how many of what type of chemical reactions occurred. This yielded three decomposition reactions‚ four substitution reactions‚ and three metathesis reactions. Introduction There are many different types of chemical reactions in the study of chemistry; A composition reaction (also known as synthesis) is defined as the reaction that occurs when two single compounds combine in

Reaction Rate Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of reaction‚ in this case sodium thiosulphate and acid. Scientific Background For a reaction to occur‚ the particles of the reactants must be colliding with each other with enough energy‚ the amount of energy needed for the reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is altered by temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area of and the pressure on the reactants. Stirring the reactants also increases

Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

Exothermic Reactions Brr! Exclaimed a kid who touched citric acid and baking soda combined. When those two mix‚ it creates a cold endothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of an increase in temperature. Endothermic reactions are reactions that absorb energy and cools down surroundings. (Many examples give away exo and endothermic reactions). So listen up! To begin with‚ a chemical reaction in which energy is released is an exothermic reaction. Heat
