The effect of Lead ions on amylase activity Aim What is the effect of Lead ions on the enzyme Amylase. And does it have an inhibitory effect‚ which causes the substrate‚ in this case starch to be blocked from the reaction process in the enzyme catalyst. Also is the effect reversible or irreversible‚ which is put on the amylase. Method Apparatus and substances required Test tube holder 2% starch solution 6 boiling tubes labelled 1 to 6 1% lead nitrate solution 6 test tubes labelled A to E‚

Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis Activity 1: Normal Breathing 1. At 20 seconds‚ pH = 7.41 2. At 40 seconds‚ pH = 7.38 3. At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.39 4. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during normal breathing? If so‚ how? Yes it did. It went down and then back up a little bit. 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? yes 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so‚ how? No it did not Activity 2a: Hyperventilation

the Cobalt Used in Lithium-ion Batteries? In our modern world today‚ mankind’s surge in technological advances has made batteries a ubiquitous necessity in our daily lifestyles. The most popular form of battery is the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery (Brain)‚ which is used an array of devices ranging from laptops and cellphones (Brain) to electric cars (Puiu). However‚ there is a need at the moment to develop a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lithium-ion battery. This is because the

A patient is admitted for electroconvulsive treatment (ECT). The physician orders the neuromuscular blocking agent metocurine iodide (Metubine) to reduce trauma by relaxing skeletal muscles. Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as Metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. In order to understand how a neuromuscular blocking agent works one must first understand the process of muscle contraction and what has to take place in order for us

An investigation to find out what factors affect the rate of electrolysis of a solution containing copper (II) ions. Plan It is known that by passing a constant electric current through a copper sulphate solution the passage of ions through this solution results in copper atoms being dissolved into the solution from the anode‚ which has a positive charge while positive copper‚ ions (cations) are also being discharged at the cathode which has a negative charge. Normally anions‚ which have a negative

OF THE PHILIPPINES‚ DILIMAN‚ QUEZON CITY 1101‚ PHILIPPINES DATE SUBMITTED: JANUARY 8‚ 2013 DATE PERFORMED: DECEMBER 5‚ 2012 ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The kinetics of the reaction between persulfate (S2O82-) and iodide (I-) ions was studied in the experiment. Temperature‚ concentration of reactants and catalyst presence were the different factors examined if they had an effect on the rate of reaction between S2O82- and I-. The reaction of interest was timed

CHEM 1112 Kinetics of the Persulfate – iodide Clock Reaction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate law and the activation energy for the reaction between persulfate ion‚ S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-: S2O82-(aq) + 2 I-(aq) 2 SO42-(aq) + I2(aq) The rate law can be written as Reaction rate = (1) Where m and n are the orders with respect to S2O82- and I-‚ respectively‚ and k is the rate constant. Determining the rate law involves determining the values
