Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Chem 201 Lab October 21‚ 2011 Lab #6: Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane – an Sn 1 Reaction Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to prepare an alkyl halide‚ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane by reacting 2-methyl -2-butanol (t-amyl alcohol) with hydrochloric acid. Alkyl halides are of wide interest because they are widespread and have diverse beneficial and detrimental impacts .The overall reaction is given below: Procedure 1 ml of 2-methyl-2-butanol was measured using 1 ml syringe and

# Now You See It – Copper Cycle Lab The purpose of the lab is to discover what happens when someone executes a series of procedures‚ beginning with copper metal. What is done | What is observed | 1. Started with copper‚ Cu (s). | reddish‚ brownish‚ orange-ish‚ powder-like | 2. Added nitric acid‚ HNO3 (aq). | acid turns blue and smells like chlorine. | 3. Added water‚ H2O (l). | stayed the same | 4. Added sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH (aq). | changed consistency‚ gel-like | 5. Heated the

Lab Report for Chemical Changes and Conservation of Mass Lab Previous to the reaction‚ the magnesium appeared to be a solid‚ white‚ black‚ and grey substance with many small dark particles within the substance. The hydrochloric acid was a clear liquid that looked like water It weighed 42.2 grams in total. During the reaction‚ the two substances produced bubbles‚ creating smoke and became warm with a smell that is irritating to the human nose. After the reaction‚ it appeared to be a clear‚ bubbly

Viscosity Science Lab Purpose: To determine of changing the viscosity will affect the time it takes for a marble to flow through a liquid. Hypothesis: If a marble is dropped into dish soap and corn syrup‚ than I predict that the marble in the dish soap will travel faster than the marble in the corn syrup because I know that the viscosity of the corn syrup is thicker than then the viscosity of the dish soap. Also‚ the particles in the corn syrup are more compact than those in the dish soap

its fastest reaction rate possible. In our lab‚ the enzyme(catalase) performs at optimal level of pH 7. As you change the pH of the solution(independent variable) in which the enzyme resides in you will see a decrease in the reaction rate of the enzyme(dependent variable). You can measure this reaction rate by looking at how much oxygen is being released and calculating the rate of increase in(O2%/min). You will test three different pH levels in this lab which are pH 4‚ pH 7‚ and pH 10. You will

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Acid/Base Titrations Pre- Lab Questions 1. Using your textbook or a handbook‚ look up the formula and structure of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) used to standardize the solution of NaOH in this experiment. Calculate the Molar Mass of KHP. Molar Mass= 204.22 g/mol Formula: KC8H5O4 2. Using your textbook or chemical dictionary‚ write the definition of indicator. Indicator- a substance added at the beginning of the titration that changes color at (or very near) the equivalence

(heritable) traits in different organisms over time. If you’re thinking apes becoming humans you’re already wrong. There’s even evidence of evolution like fossils‚ DNA samples‚ similarities in bone structure‚ and even vestigial organs. The purpose of this lab is to see how evolution works and whether it is a reliable theory. Hypothesis: If there are 11 skulls that all have different structures 4 of them will be bipedal. Independent variable: Is all the measurements of each skull Dependent
