Biology investigation: Liver and hydrogen peroxide By Cuong Tran Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the optimum temperature for enzyme activity. The stated hypothesis was that 37oC would be the optimum temperature for liver enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The dependent variable was to measure the amount of foam being produced‚ while testing 4 different temperatures with 3 repetitions each. Out of the 12 trials only 2 outliers were found

Hulsey Fire Tech 107 15 November 2015 Hydrogen Peroxide According to Lee Lerner‚ (2008)‚ “Hydrogen Peroxide is most widely found in homes in brown bottles containing three percent solutions (3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water).” Lee Lerner (2008) writes “Hydrogen Peroxide is a colorless liquid that mixes with water and is widely used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent.” Hydrogen Peroxide is used in many different ways and has different hazards. “Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent used in

Analyzing a Hydrogen Peroxide Solution Purpose: The technological purpose of this investigation is to test and evaluate the percent concentration of consumer solution of hydrogen peroxide. Problem: What is the percent concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a consumer product? Design: An acidic solution of primary standard‚ iron (II) ammonium sulfate-water (1/6)‚ is prepared and the potassium permanganate standard. A 25.0 mL sample of a consumer solution of hydrogen peroxide is diluted to 1

Catalase Experiment Research Question: How does the weight of a piece of liver (0.4g‚ 0.8g‚ 1.2g and 1.6g in this case) affect the amount of gas created after 2 minutes when combined with hydrogen peroxide? Aim: To see find out how the amount of catalase correlates with the amount of gas created when in combination with hydrogen peroxide. Materials: 15g of liver 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide 1 scale 1 bucket 1 100ml graduated cylinder 1 250ml flask with bung 1 50cm tube (able to fix onto top of flask)

kind of role does hydrogen peroxide and a liver have in their chemical reaction? In the experiment‚ we saw they had a reaction‚ but completed further tests to determine whether they changed after the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is chemically changed into water and the liver is broken down in the reaction. In the experiment‚ a fresh piece of chicken liver was put into a test tube filled with 3% hydrogen peroxide. We knew a reaction was taking place because the hydrogen peroxide started to foam and

Chemistry Catalyst Report Aim I am trying to investigate the effect of the mass of magnesium dioxide used on the speed of the reaction of 2H2O2(aq) 2H2O(l) + O2(g). I hypothesize that the speed of the reaction is proportional to the rate of decomposition. Independent Variable The mass of MnO2 used Dependent Variable The rate of decomposition through the amount of mass lost Controlled Variables Environment of the experiment Stay in the same place to carry out the experiment and finish the

2013 Some Factors that Affect the Rate of a Reaction BACKGROUND: Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment I will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: * nature of reactants - particle size * temperature * catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However
Premium Chemical reaction Reaction rate
Factors affecting the rate of reaction between a metal and an acid The rate of a reaction can be measured by the rate at which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate at which a product is formed. The temperature‚ concentration‚ pressure of reacting gases‚ surface area of reacting solids‚ and the use of catalysts‚ are all factors which affect the rate of a reaction. Individual properties of substances also affect reaction rates. The scope of these properties is broad and there are few generalizations
