Chemistry Lab Report (Design) Factors affecting Rates of a Reaction (Kinetics) KINETICS DESIGN LAB Research Question: Does the concentration of Potassium Iodide (KI) affect the rate of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (of a fixed concentration)? Introduction: There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Some of them being Pressure (if the reactants are Gases)‚ Temperature‚ Presence of a Catalyst‚ Surface Area of the reactant‚ and Concentration. According to

in almost every living organism that is exposed to oxygen. For this experiment‚ potatoes were used because they were previously known to have significant catalase activity. The potato catalase was mixed with hydrogen peroxide because the catalase helps to breakdown the hydrogen peroxide which helps determine how long a paper disk takes to float to the surface‚ which in return provides the time of the complete reaction. Since various assays were mostly used in combination with the potato extract

information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how the experiment was created. As a result we found that the higher the temperature in the water bath the more oxygen will

use. None of the chemicals used are classified as radiation‚ flammable or explosive hazards. Some of the chemicals however‚ are classified as toxic. There are three main components of glow sticks that are considered toxic: dibutyl phthalate‚ hydrogen peroxide and pthalic oxalate esters. Dibutyl phthalate is a colorless organic liquid that is used as a plasticizer (additives that make

The effect of time on enzyme reaction. Abstract: In this lab investigation we will observe how the amount of hydrogen peroxide is affected by catalase over time. The enzyme was added to 10 mL’s of hydrogen peroxide and observed over time to determine the relation between time and enzyme activity. The hypothesis stated that as time increased substrate would decrease. Therefore I predicted that at 60 seconds‚ there would be the least amount of H2O2. The enzyme activity mirrored my predictions

Investigating the effect of changing substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction

Effect of Temperature ( C ͦ) on Enzyme Catalase Activity in potato Aim: To investigate the Effect of temperature (10‚ 37‚ 60) Celsius (C ͦ) on enzyme catalase activity in potato using 2% of hydrogen peroxide (H202) as the substrate measuring the height (cm) of oxygen gas (bubbles) and calculating the volume of oxygen bubbles produced (cm3) Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being affected. They lower the activation energy needed to start

RCA Critical Cleaning Process This paper was especially prepared by Werner Kern‚ the inventor of the RCA clean. Introduction The manufacturing of a silicon integrated circuit (IC) requires 500-600 process steps‚ depending on the specific type of device. Most steps are performed as unit processes with the complete wafers before dicing them into individual chips. Approximately 30% of the steps are cleaning operations‚ which indicate the importance of cleaning and surface conditioning. The device

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out which substance‚ alcohol‚ antibacterial soap‚ water‚ or hydrogen peroxide‚ is the best at preventing the growth of bacteria. Hypothesis: Antibacterial soap will be the best because soap is a substance that people use to wash their hands because it takes away the germs. Even the name‚ antibacterial soap‚ suggests that it fights off bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is second because it is used to kill off cells on wounds and is poisonous. Rubbing alcohol will be
