Properties of Chemical Reactions Ms. Whitty‚ Science 10 Fiona Adams‚ November 1st‚ 2012 Introduction Chemical reactions are a part of our daily lives‚ from rusting metal to making bread to leaves changing colour in the fall. A chemical reaction is the process that occurs when two or more substances combine to produce a chemical change. When a chemical reaction takes place‚ the change is indicated by one or more qualitative properties. The colour or odor could change‚ gas could be produced

affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

Introduction DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is a double stranded helical structure used to store genetic information in cellular organisms. DNA usually consists of two strands made up of nucleotides‚ each with a backbone of repeating units of phosphate groups and the sugar‚ deoxyribose‚ bonded by phosphodiester linkages. Since the deoxyribose has a specific orientation‚ DNA molecules have directionality so that DNA sequences are read 5’ to 3’. The 5’ end of DNA is characterized by the deoxyribose

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

by Georg Wittig in 1954‚ the Wittig reaction is a robust organic synthesis method for preparing stereospecific alkenes. In general‚ Wittig reactions involve an aldehyde or ketone and a Wittig reagent (triphenylphosphonium ylide) and result in the formation of an alkene product and triphenylphosphine oxide (side product). Stereospecific alkene products can be synthesized by adjusting the reaction reagents and conditions. In the 60 years since the Wittig reaction was discovered‚ many articles have

CHEM111AC‚ Experiment#9 - Ionic Reactions Discussion/Error Analysis In the first part of this experiment‚ the student was presented with 7 unique and unidentified bottles of solutions labeled A-G and was expected to be able to analyze the 7 solutions through trial and error and mixing them with one another. For solution A: mixing A + B formed a precipitate‚ A + C generated heat‚ A + D gave no reaction‚ A + E gave no reaction‚ A + F gave no reaction‚ A + G formed a precipitate. For solution B: mixing

In this lab my group and I tested to see how yeast would react to different substances. Yeast is a fungi that releases carbon dioxide which can be used in the process of bread making. During this lab we used sugar‚ warm water‚ cornstarch‚ yeast‚ a gas sensor‚ plastic cylinders‚ and a laptop. The process of this lab was to create cellular respiration‚ which is what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. When yeast and a certain substance were combined‚ this substance

Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Hai Liu TA: Ara Austin Mondays: 11:30-2:20 Abstract: In this experiment‚ phenylmagnesium bromide‚ a Grignard reagent was synthesized from bromobenzene and magnesium strips in a diethyl ether solvent. The Grignard reagent was then converted to triphenylmethanol‚ a tertiary alcohol with HCl. The reaction for phenylmagnesium bromide was: The reaction for Grignard to triphenylmethanol was: In the formation of the Grignard reagent
