Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

The purpose of this lab was to use a calorimeter to learn when energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic

Analysis of a Chemical Reaction Purpose: To observe a chemical reaction and to use qualitative and quantitative evidence to identify this reaction from among four possibilities. Hypothesis: I think the result is going to produce water. I think this is going to happen because there is hydrogen and oxygen inNaHCO3. Materials: -Test tube clamp - 150 mm test tubes (2) - burner - retort stand - clay triangle - iron ring - crucible Procedure: Part A: 1. Add 0.5 g of NaHCO3

Determining the Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield in a Precipitation Reaction Objectives: Observe the reaction between solutions of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. Determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and which is the excess reactant. Determine the theoretical mass of precipitate that should form. Compare the actual mass with the theoretical mass of precipitate and calculate the percent yield. Materials: Balance 0.70 M sodium carbonate solution‚ Na2CO3(aq)

Observing a Single Chemical Reaction Qualitative vs. Quantitative Observations Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to help you sharpen your observational skills. The aluminum foil was found to rust in the water containing the dissolved Copper Chloride (CuCl₂) crystals. The results of the experiments were determined through close examination and observation of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the changes that occurred when a blue crystal‚ Copper Chloride‚ reacted with aluminum

oscillating by the means of a springs in parallel Motion sensor and photogate connected to Science workshop interface Non-linear springy objects (rubber bands) Two rectangular weights of ~0.5 kg each to change the mass of the system Procedure: The lab experiment was done in two parts. Part 1 of the experiment was done by 2 different methods. Method 1 was with a force sensor‚ springs‚ and a weight hanger in which masses of 100 gram increments were added (up to 600 grams). A force vs. displacement
