this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)‚ and reacted

hydrochloric acid In the lab‚ zinc granules react fairly slowly with dilute hydrochloric acid‚ but much faster if the acid is concentrated. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide Solid manganese(IV) oxide is often used as a catalyst in this reaction. Oxygen is given off much faster if the hydrogen peroxide is concentrated than if it is dilute. The reaction between sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid This is a

For many years Hydrogen peroxide was widely used for disinfecting‚ sterilization and its antiseptic properties‚ it is cheap and easily available OTC at any drug store or grocery store. “This readily available oxidant is rapidly converted to the highly reactive hydroxyl radical that damages an array of cellular components” (Atiyeh‚ Dibo‚ and Hayek‚ 2009). “The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA‚ 2014). Have issued a warning regarding its use in surgery and in deep and large

Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Potassium Iodide Brief Description: Two solutions are mixed resulting in an eruption of foam resembling a huge stream of toothpaste. This is the classic “Elephant Toothpaste” reaction. Purpose/Goal: Procedure presents an example of a catalyzed reaction. Explanation of Experiment: The rapid evolution of oxygen gas is produced by the following reaction: 2 H2O2 (aq) = 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g) + heat The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence

Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction

"To See What Factors Affect The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide By The Enzyme Catalase Which Is Found In The Liver" Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up the chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them the reactions would be so slow that life would grind to a halt. Enzymes work by when a substrate molecule bumps into a molecule of the right enzyme‚ it fits into a depression on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This depression is called the

Before refrigerators were produced‚ people were forced to cool their food with ice‚ snow‚ or nearby rivers and springs. Most people also had to can‚ salt‚ and pickle their food to preserve their meals. During these times‚ inventors were working towards the creation of the refrigerator. In 1758‚ Benjamin Franklin experimented with the effects of evaporation on temperature. With the help from chemist John Hadley‚ both men were able to find a way to drop thermometers temperature

Aim: To investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration on enzyme catalase Indroduction: Enzymes are proteins. They function as biological catalysts. They lower the energy barrier of a reaction so that the reaction can take place at body temperature. Also‚ they can speed up Metabolic reactions without being changed or used up. During a reaction‚ an enzyme molecule combines temporarily with the substrate. When the reaction is complete‚ the enzyme molecules returns to its original dorm

one enzyme can carry out one type of reaction. The catalase enzyme speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. The hydrogen peroxide molecule acts as the substrate molecule and enters the active site where it is broke down into oxygen and water. The oxygen and water then leave the active site. Catalase enzyme Hydrogen peroxide (toxic) oxygen + water In the investigation I am doing‚ these are the factors I could change:
