Name: Alexis Savastano How Does pH Affect an Enzyme? Catalase is an enzyme that helps decompose the toxic hydrogen peroxide that is produced during normal cell activities. The products of this reaction are water and oxygen gas. The pressure of the oxygen gas in a closed container increases as oxygen is produced. Any increase in the rate of reaction will cause an increase in the pressure of the oxygen.
If the reaction is first order, its graphical representation is seen as ln[A] (natural log of concentration) vs. time, and the slope of its like is also the negative rate constant. Finally, for a second order reaction the graph is shown as 1/[A] (inverse of concentration) vs. time, and the slope of its given line is the positive rate constant. By understanding the rate law and finding the value of the correct rate constant with respect to the order of the reaction, one can determine the half-life of the crystal violet. This is because the crystal violet undergoes a decay reaction with the sodium hydroxide. According to Beer's Law, the absorbance of crystal violet is proportional to its concentration.
To observe the change in properties of various synthesized copper compounds in order to identify the reactions and products being formed. Secondly, to become familiar with methods of separating compounds through decanting, heating with Bunsen burner and suction filtration system. In doing so, be able to recover copper metal and interpret the resulting percentage yield by applying the law of conservation of matter. Upon combining 20.0mL of NaOH to 10.0mL of Cu(NO3)2 and stirring the solution, there was a darkening of the initial blue color. Adding distilled water to the solution lowers the initial intensity of the blue color, bringing back to a lighter blue.
This solution was placed in a burette and 18.4 cm3 was required to neutralise 25 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3 NaOH. Deduce the molecular formula of the acid and hence the value of n. 5. Sodium carbonate exists in hydrated form, Na2CO3.xH2O, in the solid state. 3.5 g of a sodium carbonate sample was dissolved in water and the volume made up to 250 cm3. 25.0 cm3 of this solution was titrated against 0.1 moldm-3 HCl and 24.5 cm3 of the acid were required.
Once the zinc was added slowly to the solution, a gas was released and the solution began to change colors. The colors that occurred were light blue to light grey, to a clear blue, back to a dark blue, then grey color. Once the stirring process ended, the solution was slightly blue and not colorless. There were solids in the bottom. The reaction that occurred with this step was displacement and metathesis in the form of gas formation.
K+ Perform flame test by dipping a test loop in test solution and putting in Bunsen flame after cleaning the loop with HCl(aq). Observe flame through a cobalt blue glass. A lavender flame occurs and the flame is observable through the cobalt blue glass. Presence of potassium in the test solution - 3. NH4+ Heat 5mL of the test solution in a beaker.
The Ksp of Magnesium Oxalate Abstract The Ksp for the acid catalyzed titration of the saturated oxalate is 1.8 x 10-3. Introduction In this experiment, the solubility equilibrium for the salt magnesium oxalate must be found in order to determine a solubility product constant. Solubility equilibrium is a type of dynamic equilibrium which exists when a chemical compound in the solid state is in chemical equilibrium with a solution of that compound. At the point of equilibrium the solution becomes saturated. The chemical reaction used to find this constant is as follows: MgC2O4 (s) ↔Mg(aq)2++ C2O4 (aq)2- Kc= Mg2+[C2O42-][MgC2O4] Ksp=Mg2+[C2O42-] The solid salt magnesium oxalate is prepared through the following precipitation reaction: Mg(SO4)(aq)+NaC2O4 (aq) → MgC2O4 (s)+NaSO4 (aq) Next, the concentration of the Mg2+ and C2O42- ions is found through a redox titration.
Let’s call this number X. Then the structural formula of BaCl2 hydrate can be written as BaCl2•XH2O. The reaction of dehydration is |BaCl2•XH2O ( BaCl2 + XH2O |(5) | According to the stoichiometry of the reaction (5) |[pic] |(6) | Where N1 is the number of moles of BaCl2 formed in the reaction (5) and N2 is the number of moles of water lost in the reaction (5). To find out N1 you need to divide the mass of BaCl2 after the reaction by its molar mass. To find out N2 you have to determine the mass of water produced in the reaction.
Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: To examine the reactions of chemicals and see what types of changes can occur. Procedure: I used a 96-well plate and the following chemicals to document the chemical changes that occur: Ammonia, Bromthymol Blue, Copper (II) Sulfate, FDC Blue dye #-1, Hydrochloric Acid, Lead (II) Nitrate, Phenolphthalein Solution, Silver Nitrate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Starch Solution. Data Tables: Well #/Question | Chemicals | Reaction | A | NaHCO3 and HCl – CO2 | Bubbles formed | B | HCl and BTB | Turns a yellow/orange color | C | NH3 and BTB | Turned to orange | D | HCl and Blue Dye | Turns green | E | Blue Dye and NaOCL | Stayed blue | F | Kl and Pb(NO3)2 |
Title Hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate: how reaction rate varies with sodium thiosulphate Concentration Introduction When sodium thiosulphate reacts with hydrochloric acid, sulphur is produced. The sulphur that is produced forms in very small particles and causes the solution to cloud over and turn a yellow colour. This basic word equation sums up the reaction: HCL + sodium thiosulphate sodium chloride + sulphur dioxide + sulphur + water The aim of this experiment is to observe and record the rate of reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate; a conical flask above a marked 'x' will be filled with the required amounts of hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate and then the amount of time it takes for the reaction to occur and for the marked 'x' to disappear will be measured. The scientific principle in effect here is the collision theory. The collision theory is the theory that molecules have to collide in a certain way with a certain amount of energy in order to react and form a new product; when molecules collide that can react, they need a certain amount of energy (also known as activation energy) in order to break existing bonds and then form new bonds as the new product.
