respiration. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids. Where are the substances excreted? Carbon dioxide is passed from the cells of respiring tissues into the blood stream. It is transported in the blood (mostly in the form of hydrogen carbonate ions) to the lung. In the lungs the carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli to be excreted as we breathe out. Urea is produced by breaking down excess amino acids in the liver. This process is known as deamination. The urea is then passed

SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such

Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Emilio Lanza Introduction- In this experiment‚ the rate of reaction‚ calculated in kPa sec-1‚ of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be investigated to see how the change in concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the change in temperature affect the rate of reaction. The data will be collected by measuring the gas pressure. The product of Hydrogen Peroxide is oxygen in a gas state thus it is mandatory

Speed of Decomposition and Its Factors Purpose The term decomposition is the process of breaking down dead organisms to reuse them. Decomposition allows nutrients in organisms to become free after they die or have become old and they are ready to be used by living plants and animals for their growth. Without decomposition useful nutrients would remain locked inside of a dead organism and it would be very difficult for new life to grow. Most of the nutrients that are essential for the plants

The Enthalpy Change of the Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate _INTRODUCTION_ RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the enthalpy change of the decomposition of calcium carbonate? BACKGROUND: Enthalpy in chemistry can be thought of as the energy contained within the bonds‚ or the internal energy‚ but it is not heat and you can only measure changes in it. When bond bonds break in the reactants energy is given off‚ when bonds form‚ energy is absorbed. If the energy absorbed is less than the energy released

the rate of thermal decomposition of CaCO3 at different temperatures. Research Question How does temperature influence the rate of thermal decomposition in CaCO3? Hypothesis Every time more heat is added to the element‚ CaCO3‚ thermal decomposition will take place faster because the heat is a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. Variables Dependent Variables → Mass of Calcium Carbonate Independent Variables → Temperature Controlled Variables → Calcium Carbonate What? How?

Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

The actual rate of a chemical reaction however is dependent on two things; the temperature the actual experiment is performed at‚ and the concentration pertaining to the reactants. The rate of a reaction more often

Hydrogen Peroxide & Inorganic Peroxy Compounds Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is also a strong oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid‚ slightly more viscous than water. In dilute solution‚ it appears colorless. Reactions Decomposition Hydrogen peroxide decomposes exothermically into water and oxygen gas spontaneously: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 This process is thermodynamically favorable. It has
