Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred

Chemistry – Titration experiment I – Standard Solution Prep Preparation of a standard solution of sodium carbonate Anhydrous sodium carbonate is a suitable chemical (primary standard) for the preparation of a standard solution. Standard Solutions are critical in chemistry because you need to have solutions with an EXACT known concentration and volume. Chemicals/Materials: solid sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) distilled water Apparatus: 250cm3 volumetric flask 250cm3 beaker Glass stirring

Just because light can’t pass through‚ doesn’t mean it’s not a solution! Gold is a solid solution – it is different metals mixed together‚ but when you observe it‚ only one phase is visible.

Catalytic 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

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

Kinetics of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Lab Introduction: In this week’s lab experiment‚ the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide forming oxygen gas will be observed and studied. Since the rate of a chemical reaction is dependent on two things; the concentrations of the reactants and the temperature at which the process is performed‚ the rate can be measured at which a reactant disappears or at which a product appears. When measuring the rate‚ the rate law will be applied. The

"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

respiration. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids. Where are the substances excreted? Carbon dioxide is passed from the cells of respiring tissues into the blood stream. It is transported in the blood (mostly in the form of hydrogen carbonate ions) to the lung. In the lungs the carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli to be excreted as we breathe out. Urea is produced by breaking down excess amino acids in the liver. This process is known as deamination. The urea is then passed
