Analysis Of Lactic Acid And Peroxomonosulphate

Improved Essays
The kinetics of the reaction between peroxomonosulphate with Lactic acid was studied in the presence of Mn(II) at alkaline pH. The reaction followed first order with respect to peroxomonosulphate. The rate of the reaction was studied under pseudo first order condition and found to increases with the [Mn(II)] and lactic acid. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated and reported. Based on the results a rate equation, kinetic scheme and a most probable mechanism has been predicted.
Keywords: Alpha hydroxy acid, Lactic acid, Peroxomonosulphate, Manganese (II).

I.INTRODUCTION
Peroxomonosulphate (PMS) is a versatile oxidant (Lavanya et.al,2015) and is widely used in environmental applications (Edwards et.al., 1989) such as the decontamination (Johnson

So it is necessary to study the effect of sulphate ion during the course of the reaction. The kobs values are calculated at a different sulphate ion concentration by maintaining the concentration of all other constituents of the reaction mixture a constant. The rate of the reaction was found to be independent of the sulphate ion concentration.

C. EFFECT OF Mn(II) ON kobs The effect of the metal ion in all the three temperature are determined by varying the metal ion concentration and keeping the concentration of lactic acid and oxidant constant. The concentration of Mn(II) used in this study is in the range 5x10-5M to 3x10-4 M. It is observed that the kobs values increased with the metal ion concentrations and the results are given in Fig 2. The plot of kobs versus Mn(II) are straight lines passing through origin.

    Purpose: The purpose of our experiment was to precipitate Copper (II) Phosphate Trihydrate and determine percent yield, also to react an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Chloride with aqueous Sodium Phosphate and describe the reaction. Procedure: To conduct our experiment 10 milliliters of CuCL2 and 8 milliliters NaPO4 was added to its own 50 milliliter beaker. These solutions were then combined in a 150 milliliter beaker and mixed for 1 minute. The PH of the mixed solution was checked to see if it was accurate enough to go on with the experiment. The solution was then filtered using the vacuum filtration technique.…

    The solution was stirred and cooled to 0°C using a water bath. The flask was removed from the ice bath then household beach (4%, 272.2ml, 1.2equiv) was added to the solution while stirring vigorously. Solution changed from colourless to dark red-brown to pale yellow. After a short time, sodium thiosulfate (10%, 10ml) was added. HCL (10%, 10ml) was added to acidify the reaction.…

    What predictions would you make about the enzyme activity if you were to continue to change each of the factors in Parts A – E? The predictions that would be concluded about the enzyme activity if it were to continue and change each of the factors in Parts A – E, would be that enzyme activity will decrease due to the optimal temperature, pH, concentrations, and metal salt concentration not being obtained. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2?…

    The reactants that enzyme act upon with the substrate and the enzyme will bind together into the active site. The catalyst is important to the enzyme that breaks down the hydrogen peroxide and oxygen gas, where the rate of reaction of the catalyst will increase the temperature until it has reached the optimum temperature above 37°C is reached. If the optimum temperature has reached above 37°C then the kinetic energy and substrate molecules will begin to denature. The purpose of the lab was to determine the effects different temperature in yeast and hydrogen peroxide in a catalyst enzyme on reaction rate. There were many sources of errors that occur in the lab from having just one trial, using the same thermometer for each solution and inaccurate timing.…

    In most cases, a chemical reaction is able to occur in more than one way; enzyme kinetics studies the effect of how biological catalysts can influence biochemical reactions. Enzymes play an important role in regulating metabolic pathways in the human body and without enzymes they will not function efficiently. The rate of a reaction is enhanced by enzyme activity which provides alternate pathways for the reaction to proceed by.…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    Consequently, five test tubes were prepared at different temperatures to observe which test tube's temperature is the optimal temperature of the enzyme. These are the test tube and their temperature; Tube 1- was blank, Tube 2- room temperature, Tube 3- 35° C, Tube 4- 45° C and Tube 5- 55° C. These tubes had 1 mL of the substrate mixture and 1 mL of pH 6 buffer. These tubes were placed in a spectrophotometer to measure their reaction.…

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an oxidoreductase found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. LDH catalyses the formation of lactate and NAD+ from pyruvate and NADH, during the last step of anaerobic glycolysis. The reaction is also catalysed in the other direction by LDH during the Cori cycle. This reaction can be assayed using spectrophotometric techniques; peak absorbance of NADH is at 340nm, but the peak absorbance of NAD+ is 259nm (Powers, et al., 2007). Enzyme assays are performed to measure the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction, known as the enzyme activity.…

    Introduction: Enzymes have a huge effect on the human body and other organisms. Enzymes are catalysts that are used to accelerate the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. For this experiment the catechol oxidase was extracted from potatoes. The enzyme is called catechol oxidase because the oxygen is reacting to catechol. Catechol oxidase causes the browning of the fruits and vegetables because the compound is toxic to the bacteria.…

    The standard was prepared by weighing and dissolving 25 grams of Na2S2O3∙5H2O in boiling water. It is important to sterilize the solution by bringing it to a boil for 5 minutes since common bacterial strains can decompose the thiosulfate solution into sulfite, sulfate, and elemental sulfur. In addition, NaCO3 was also added to create a slightly basic solution, protecting it from rapid decomposition into sulfite and sulfur. The thiosulfate standard was then wrapped and stored in the dark since light can catalyze the decomposition of thiosulfate into sulfite and elemental sulfur. In order to standardize the titrant, KIO3 is dried for 1 hour.…

    Abstract The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the temperature can affect the reaction rate of enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was measured by five different temperatures, separated in tubes which later got measured by their height of foam after 10 minutes. Freshly-prepared potato juice was used as the enzyme for catalase. Since temperature is measured by the kinetic energy of molecules, the higher the temperature, the more movement of molecules.…
