place in chloroplasts‚ which is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and involves two interlinked reactions‚ which are light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. Throughout our lab experiment‚ we focused on the affect access of light has on carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide levels decrease as oxygen levels increase and glucose is produced when light dependent reactions occur. Light energy is absorbed by photo pigments and is used to raise a electron to a higher energy

order for the biochemical reactions to occur because they act as a catalyst to convert energy from sunlight into chemical potential energy. Two consecutive steps allow the photosynthesis process to take place. These steps are light-independent reactions‚ and light dependent reactions. The occurrences of Light-independent reactions happen in the STROMA of the chloroplasts. The substances consumed during this reaction are ATP and NADPH. The occurrences of light-dependent reactions happen within the THYLAKOIDS

Stoichiometry Lab Stoichiometry is the end result of adding up chemical elements that were involved in chemical reactions (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stoichiometry). The word stoichiometry was obtained from two greek words meaning element and measure. This explains the definition for the term. A chemist named Jeremias Benjamin Richter was the chemist responsible for first realizing what stoichiometry was (http://www.chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/What-is-Stoichiometry.html). In 1972

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures that are neither freezing nor boiling‚ catalase performs well in lower concentrations than the substrate‚ and catalase prefers neutral pH levels around 7. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze metabolic reactions vital for the survival and functioning of cells [1]. Without enzymes

Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)

Safety: • Wear safety goggles at all time • Handle all chemicals with care • Use equipment like tongs when handling warm/hot objects • If chemicals are spilt on self‚ wash off immediately • Stand at all times Hypothesis: The NaHCO3 will react successfully with the HCl and will form NaCl‚ H2O and CO2. Then be able to work out a balanced equation for the reaction and work out the moles of NaHCO3 and NaCl. Materials:

Increasing the temperature will not speed up the reaction as expected. Thus‚ a catalyst was needed as salicylic acid is stabilized by its benzene ring‚ with lone pairs from the carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group delocalizing with the electrons of the aromatic ring. In this case‚ we utilized sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) as the reaction catalyst to speed up the reaction. While the reaction proceeded‚ the color of the reaction mixture changed from white to colorless. This was due to the increased
