for the organisms by catalyzing various biochemical reactions. Most of these chemical reactions would not take place in the conditions available if the enzymes were not a present. Therefore‚ we can say that being involved as catalysts is the main and most important role of an enzyme in any organism. Furthermore‚ many reactions that are thermodynamically favored do not occur quickly because there is not enough energy necessary to start the reaction (1). This energy is called the activation energy and

‚ Reading the October 8th‚ number 8 series of the Duke‚ it was a pleasure realizing that you reacted on‚ shooting on campus. Thank you for your reaction and observation on this issue and the measures to take to prevent it re-occurring in Duquesne campus. Your reaction on shooting on campus in‚ raise some opinion on the topic It was a good observation especially on this aspect that‚ “individual schools can take steps to address the growing threat of violence and adapt to the culture of fear on

This lab focused on three factors affecting reaction rates‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and concentration. Our first experiment (table 1) looked mainly into the effects of temperature on the reaction rate. To see how different temperatures would change the reaction rates we had three flasks all containing varying temperatures of water(H20). One with cold water (4°C)‚ one room temperature (21°C)‚ and one with hot water (44°C). In each flask‚ we dropped one tablet of Alka-Seltzer‚ all within 0.008 grams

objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice and baking

Light Dependent Reactions The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis involves the transfer of sunlight energy into two things: The production of ATP Reduction of coenzyme NADP to NADPH NADP – Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADPH – Reduced NADP The energy from sunlight is used to excite an electron‚ within a primary pigment‚ to a higher energy level. The excited electron is then donated to an electron acceptor leaving the chlorophyll molecule oxidised and reducing the acceptor

electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from the indicators used. The reactions showed that hydrogen ions were produced at the anode‚ making

Hamad IS1‚ B4 Endothermic and exothermic reactions Background information: An endothermic reaction is a product or a substance accompanied by the absorption of heat. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat. Design: Research question- Which reaction occurs‚ exothermic or endothermic‚ when Epson salt‚ Borax‚ Laundry detergent‚ and baking soda are added‚ separately‚ with water? Hypothesis- If Epson salt is mixed with water then the reaction will be endothermic because salt is used

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

complete sentences‚ giving detailed explanations and support for each of your answers. 1. Explain in your own words what it means for a chemical system to be in the state of dynamic equilibrium. After a reaction has occurred for awhile at a given temperature‚ the forward and reverse reaction rate will eventually be equal. Although you may get this confused‚ the concentration may not be equal‚ but the rate will. This occurs in a closed system. In other terms‚ dynamic equilibrium is when no change

Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used
