Link reaction The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and its main function is to turn the pyruvate into acetate for the kerb cycle. During the link reaction the pyruvate molecule undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation‚ the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase remove the carboxyl group (which becomes a carbon dioxide molecule) and removes the hydrogen atoms from the pyruvate molecule. The coenzyme NAD accepts the two hydrogen atoms and becomes reduced

and Chemical Properties Purpose: To investigate the physical and chemical properties of pure substances as distinguishing characteristics. Procedure: 1. Set up a well plate with 24 pieces and fill two with either Dilute HCl or Dilute NaOH. 2. Set up four test tubes with any single substance in each one. 3. Observe and record original color and odor of substance. 4. Light flame with matches. -Hold test tube with substance in it over flame with clamps -Observe and record reaction with

Observation of Chemical Changes June 17‚ 2014 Chem 107 Purpose: To associate chemical properties with household products To observe some properties of chemical reactions Procedure: Using a 96 well plate and a pipette each chemical was placed into its individual well‚ two drops of a second chemical were added and the observations of the reaction/changes were recorded. The new mixture was viewed on a light and on a dark background to observe all changes. Data Table 1: Reactions Expected

In this laboratory voltmeters where utilized to take reading of three different electrochemical reactions: Pb/Zn‚ Pb/Cu‚ and Zn/Cu. A salt bridge was placed between two reactions containing metal strips in separate aq solutions. The salt bridge was placed in order to balance the reaction. The voltage measurements for Pb/Zn‚ Pb/Cu‚ and Zn/Cu where .595 V‚ .479 V‚ and 1.072 V accordingly. The values obtained where then used to determine the voltage value for the reduction half. The resulting cell potential

Chemical Reaction:- The transformation of chemical substance into another chemical substance is known as Chemical Reaction. For example: rusting of iron‚ setting of milk into curd‚ digestion of food‚ respiration‚ etc. In chemical reaction new substance is formed which is completely different in properties from the original substance‚ so in a chemical reaction chemical change takes place. Following are the signs of chemical reaction: (a) Change of state of substance. (b) Change of colour of substance

Introduction There are two types of chemical reaction that occur one goes only in one direction and the other one is reversible. A reversible reaction is when a products starts to form the backward reaction starts where the products turns back to reactant molecules. When the rate of forward and backward reaction is already equal and the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change with time we can say that chemical equilibrium is already achieved. A reaction is said to be at equilibrium

the value of the sum for Reaction 1 and Reaction 2’s change in temperature‚ compared to Reaction 3’s change in temperature. Reaction 1 was the dissolution of solid sodium hydroxide in water with a ΔH°rxn of -47047 J/mol‚ Reaction 2 was the neutralization of liquid sodium hydroxide with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -31289 J/mol and Reaction 3 was the dissolution and neutralization of solid NaOH with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -91000 J/mol. Consequently‚ the sum of Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 was -78336 J/mol‚ similar

observe how the change in solvent polarity affects the rate and to determine the kinetics of a solvolysis reaction. In this experiment‚ we used 1-chloro-1-phenylethane in acetone in one reaction with 50% ethanol-50% water and in another reaction with 40% ethanol-60% water. To monitor he rate of reaction‚ we would need the concentration of the alkyl chloride at the beginning of the reaction and at a time t‚ but since we did not determine the concentrations‚ we monitored the rate of formation of

Reactions in Aqueous Solutions: Metathesis Reactions and Net Ionic Equations Introduction: Metathesis or double decomposition reactions are a reaction in which two compounds react to form two new compounds‚ with no changes in oxidation number. The ions of two compounds exchange partners. AX + BY AY + BX This reaction can occur between two inorganic salts when one product is insoluble in water‚ driving the reaction forward. A typical example is as followed and is considered a molecular equation

A. Introduction Title: The effect of reading Shakespeare on reaction time Research Question: Does reading a passage of Shakespeare decrease a person’s reaction time while completing a puzzle? One day in class‚ I was reading an interesting article about how people who read and are exposed to Shakespeare and Wordsworth and other renowned writers have better brain activity‚ attention spans‚ and can have more moments of beneficial self-reflection. In the article‚ scientists and psychologists at Liverpool
