The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the effect of temperature on enzyme- catalyzed reactions. This is relevant because many diseases can be diagnosed and controlled by the processes of enzyme activity (Worthington 2015). If more information is not found about enzyme activity and how it is affected‚ many diseases may go undiagnosed and uncontrolled. Temperature is a type measurement that does not only consist of heat. It is the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of any group of particles

of Reactions AP Chemistry Purpose The focus of this experiment is to recognize that when aqueous solutions of potassium iodate ion (KIO3-) and bisulfite ion (HSO3-) are mixed‚ a series of reactions will occur‚ and the final reaction is signaled by the appearance of a dark blue color. My partners and I investigate how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of reaction. The purpose of this lab is to find the order of the reaction with

It was originally hypothesised that the reaction time would decrease with higher concentrations of the reactants‚ potassium iodate and sodium bisulfite as collision theory stated that more molecules present in a given volume meant a greater chance they would collide. Furthermore‚ the time was expected to decrease with higher temperatures as it influenced the reactant particles by raising their kinetic energy. However‚ the data collected from this experiment only partially supported this hypothesis

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate equation for the “Iodine Clock Reaction” experiment. The experiment will consider the equations 〖2I〗^-+S_2 O_8→2〖〖SO〗_4〗^(2-)+I_2 and I_2+2〖S_2 O_3〗^(2-)→2I^-+S_4 O_6 in order to determine the rate law of Rate=k[〖〖S_2 O_8〗^(2-)]〗^a 〖[I^-]〗^b by using the experimental data to calculate the values of exponents a and b as well as the rate constant k. Experimental Supplies Needed: 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ 100 mL beaker‚ graduated

Determining the Mole Ratios in a Chemical Reaction Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the mole ratios of the reactants hypochlorite ion (OCI ) and thiosulfate (S O ) when reacted in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation gives the mole ratios of the reactants and products involved in the chemical reaction. When some formulas of the products are not known‚ experimental measurements can be made to determine those ratios. During this reaction‚ hypochlorite ions oxidize the thiosulfate

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Jesus Flores March 30th‚ 2015 Abstract: This experiment was conducted in order to discover the Kc‚ equilibrium constant‚ of a hydrolysis reaction of an unknown ester #2‚ unknown acid‚ and alcohol #2 products. The first week consisted of creating the reaction mixtures in bottles‚ next was preparing a NaOH solution while neutralizing with KHP. The final week consisted of titrating the bottles with the NaOH solution prepared previously

Polymerase chain reaction The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude‚ generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis‚ PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications. These include DNA cloning for sequencing‚ DNA-based phylogeny

Single Displacement Reaction The objective of this experiment was to observe evidence of a reaction and to determine the chemical equation‚ if there is a reaction. In order for a reaction to occur‚ a metal strip must have evidence of black or grey deposits on the surface of the metal once dipped into the solution. The reactivity of an element is related to its tendency to lose or gain electrons. Three metal strips that were used are copper‚ lead and zinc as well as the solutions of silver nitrate
