Percobaan Reaksi Hidrogen Peroksida dengan Katalase

Penulis: Jancolin Yani Pendahuluan

Seperti yang kita tahu bahwa hydrogen peroksida yang dihasilkan oleh sel-sel didalam tubuh kita akibat metabolism sel akan terpecah menjadi gas hydrogen dan oksigen dengan adanya keberadaan enzim katalase.

Zat hydrogen peroksida sangat berbahaya bagi tubuh dalam kuantitas yang banyak oleh karena itu harus dipecah dan dikeluarkan. Sebagian besar zat hydrogen peroksida dipecah di dalam hati dan sebagian kecil di dalam sel-sel tubuh kita yang lainnya.

Reaksi pemecahan hydrogen peroksida secara sedehana:

H2O2 -> H2O + 1/2O2 + 23.45 kcal/mol

Pembahasan H2O2
Hidrogen peroksida dengan rumus kimia H2O2 ditemukan oleh Louis Jacques Thenard di tahun 1818. Senyawa ini merupakan bahan kimia anorganik yang memiliki sifat oksidator kuat. Bahan baku pembuatan hidrogen peroksida adalah gas hidrogen (H2) dan gas oksigen (O2). Teknologi yang banyak digunakan di dalam industri hidrogen peroksida adalah auto oksidasi Anthraquinone.
H2O2 tidak berwarna, berbau khas agak keasaman, dan larut dengan baik dalam air. Dalam kondisi normal (kondisi ambient), hidrogen peroksida sangat stabil dengan laju dekomposisi kira-kira kurang dari 1% per tahun.
Mayoritas pengunaan hidrogen peroksida adalah dengan memanfaatkan dan merekayasa reaksi dekomposisinya, yang intinya menghasilkan oksigen. Pada tahap produksi hidrogen peroksida, bahan stabilizer kimia biasanya ditambahkan dengan maksud untuk menghambat laju dekomposisinya. Termasuk dekomposisi yang terjadi selama produk hidrogen peroksida dalam penyimpanan. Selain menghasilkan oksigen, reaksi dekomposisi hidrogen peroksida juga menghasilkan air (H2O) dan panas. Reaksi dekomposisi eksotermis yang terjadi adalah sebagai berikut:
H2O2 -> H2O + 1/2O2 + 23.45 kcal/mol
Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi reaksi dekomposisi hidrogen peroksida adalah:
1. Bahan organik tertentu, seperti alkohol dan bensin
2.

    The purpose of this experiment is to prepare a standard solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate and use titration to perform an acid/base reaction between the potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium hydroxide to standardize approximately 0.10 M sodium hydroxide solution. To prepare the Potassium Hydrogen phthalate, a 2.00 grams of KHP was measured to an accurate measurement of 1.980 grams. A total of 100 mL of water was mixed with the KHP solution in the volumetric flask to finally prepare an acidic KHP solution. The molar mass of KHP was calculated and came to be 208.252 grams per mole. To find the moles of KHP, the mass of KHP (1.980 g) was divided by the molar mass of KHP ( 208.252 g) and .00951 moles are in the 1.980 grams of KHP. To find the molarity, the number of moles of KHP (.00951 moles) was divided by the volume of water in liters (.100 L) giving an answer of 0.0951 M.…

    We placed the zinc inside the beaker and slowly poured the hydrochloric acid into the beaker. As soon as the acid entered the beaker, there was a sizzling sound and bubbles started to form as we add more of the substance in. When the bubbles were forming, we could see a steam of gas coming out of the beaker. After 10 minutes, we noticed bits of zinc were floating on top of the hydrochloric acid and lining the beaker. I lifted the beaker and felt the bottom and it felt warm, which meant the reaction was still happening. After 20 minutes, we added water into the zinc and hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction and we observed a slight cloudy colour (still clear) forming as we slowly pour the water in the beaker.…

    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 1.00 L with water (that is, it is diluted by a factor of 40). The standardized potassium permanganate solution is used to titrate the diluted and acidified hydrogen peroxide. The amount concentration of the original hydrogen peroxide is obtained by analysis if the titration evidence, and by using the graph.…

    Due to the necessity of keeping the food's natural characteristics and appearance for longer, to meet the requirements of consumers, and because of the short life that natural food have, certain chemical compound have discovered and developed certain ways to preserve food and extend their life for longer. Furthermore, there are many different types of chemical compounds were added to our daily diet, yet certain chemical compounds can be listed on the nutrition label, and even they cannot be tested or seen on the products. Butylated hydroxyanisole and Butylated hydroxytoluene and Ethanol are among of that chemical compounds, which were used in certain food and beverages in order to preserve them. The aim of this essay is to discuss the use of BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and Ethanol in the food industry, also this essay will discuss and define the side effects of them on our daily diet.…
