to break it down the cell will die‚ along with the organism itself. However with the aid of an enzyme‚ catalase‚ hydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver‚ a vegetable‚ and breast tissue. By using variables such a pH and temperature we are able to how the rate of reaction is altered or improved. If it has improved

MnO4¯ + 8 H+ + 5e¯ → Mn+² + 4 H2O (1) In the above reduction half-reaction‚ manganese has undergone a decrease in oxidation number from +7 to +2. In the following oxidation half-reaction‚ each iron atom has undergone an increase in oxidation number from +2 to +3. Fe+²→ Fe+³ + e¯ (2) Oxidation must occur along with reduction. These reactions are called redox (reduction/oxidation ) reactions. The number of electrons lost and gained

2 major lab accidents: 1) Adam and Joey‚ best friends since kindergarten‚ were doing an experiment in engineering class. The boys launched a potato at the wrong rate of speed and distance and broke a school window when they were trying out their potato launcher that was made to be launched indoors inside the school lab. If Adam and Joey had listened carefully to the teachers instructions‚ they would have launched the potato to travel the correct distance and speed. Maria and Kathy‚ two girls who

Argon (Ar) is a noble gas found in Group 0 on the periodic table. It gets its name because of its chemical inertness and comes from the Greek root ‘Argo‚’ which means lazy. This is because Argon doesn’t react well with other elements. The atomic number of Argon is 18 making it a member of the helium group of elements which are also called noble‚ or inert‚ gasses and are non reactive. Its electronic configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 The outermost shell‚ shell number three‚ has a completely

A. Role of Chemistry in Society Applications of chemical science have contributed significantly to the advancement of human civilization (1‚ 2‚ 3). With a growing understanding and ability to manipulate chemical molecules‚ the post-World War II chemist was considered a societal problem solver. They synthesized crop-enhancing agricultural chemicals to ensure a constant and viable food supply. They played a significant role in the eradication of deadly diseases by developing life-saving pharmaceuticals

Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. According to the Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI)‚ a “DEEP DIVE” is considered to be anything from 18 meters (60 ft) to 30 meters (100 ft). A scuba diver moves around underwater by using swim-fins attached to the feet‚ however external propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle. Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons; either for recreational purposes
