Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected

the optimum pH for catalase in potatoes. This is because the height of the bubbles was the highest of all three tests (pH 3‚ pH 7‚ pH 9) reaching an average height of 0.433 cm. See graph 3. While pH buffer 3’s average height was 0.233 cm only reaching a maximum height of 0.3 cm in Trial 3 and pH buffer 9’s average height being 0.333 cm only reaching a maximum height of 0.4 cm again in Trial 3. See table 1. Therefore this supports my hypothesis: At pH buffer 7 the enzyme (catalase) will work most efficiently

Experiment 4: Analyze a solution of potassium hydroxide using standard hydrochloric acid Theory . Introduction: Titration is a procedure used in chemistry in order to determines the molarity of an acid or a base. In the other words‚ it is also consider as acid-base neutralization reaction (Darrell D. Ebbing 1976). A chemical reaction is set up between a know volume of a solution of unknown concentration and a known volume of a solution with a known concentration. The relative acidity or

Effect of an Orange on Catalase Activity in Comparison with a Potato Introduction Catalysts are substances that increase chemical reactions while using less energy. They also remain unchanged after use‚ which enables it to be used repeatedly. Cells have special catalysts called enzymes‚ which are specialized proteins that help accelerate chemical cell reactions. (Evert‚ RF & Eichhorn‚ SE 2013). Enzymes also control plant metabolic processes such as respiration (Evert RF‚ Eichhorn SE & Perry JB

Purpose Understanding how catalase activity is affected by pH is the purpose of this experiment. Introduction Enzymes play an important role in daily life because of the chemical reactions. Almost chemical reactions require the presence of enzymes to promote the metabolic process. They are known as the incredibly efficient and highly specific biological catalysts. Most enzymes are protein with the ability to enhance the rate of reaction between molecules. To catalyze a reaction‚ the enzymes

To investigate how does the concentration of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction? Outline I aim to discover how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid influence the rates of reaction. In order to carry out this investigation I have decided to use marble chips‚ which I will vary the sizes as powder‚ small chips and large chips. I will also be changing the concentration‚ the different concentrations are as follows 0.2m‚ 0.5m‚ 1m‚ 1.5‚ 2m. I have chosen these concentrations as they
