Chemical reaction

broken down to water and oxygen ; which causes a response. Found in a lot organisms that live in the surrounding of oxygen, catalase can fend off the buildup and protects cellular organs from damage by peroxide, which is always produced by many reactions. The catalase enzyme is critically important to are health, it can be found in nearly every living organism exposed to oxygen. In the catalase lab we measured the amount of catalase in each ingredient by combining each ingredient with hydrogen…

The bacteria Rhodoccus rhodochrous has specific growing specifications helping it flourish at it’s highest potential. Fermentation tanks house the bacteria to create an enclosed environment. They are given pure oxygen, proteins, and sugars inside of the tank. The bacteria feed off of these ingredients and continue to grow. Then, the bacteria is frozen to stabilize them. This prevents the bacteria from growing too much. A catalyst is added to create a signal for the enzymes to start working.…

Slime was first created in 1976 by mattel ( A toy company) it was sold in little green trash cans. It was not stretchy or soft it didn't settle, or react to touch. The original slime was not made with pva or borate it was made with guar gum and didn't have an appealing texture. Slime is now sold across the world in shops online the main seller is Etsy but other slime sellers branch out and create their own websites. Like for example GlitterSlimes (Nicolette) started on Etsy and made her own…

. Our predictions were not supported by our data. We predicted Hexane to not mix well with the other liquids, due to the fact that is a nonpolar substance. When in fact it mixed with all but two substances , Methanol and Water. I believe this to be for the fact that both Methanol and water have strong properties of hydrogen bonding. While we thought water wouldn't mix , we predicted Dichloromethane , n-Pentanol,Methanol,Toulene and Water to mix. Again our predictions were not exact in that…

Data Analysis Does microwave radiation increase the speed the plant is growing? There were more than one variable. The independent variable is the amount of microwave radiation the seed received. The control group is non-microwavable seed, which was cell #1. The experimental group is microwaved seeds. Cell #2 was put in the microwave for 15 seconds. Cell #3 was put in the microwave for 30 seconds.The dependent variable is the amount of the plant growth. The control groups are the amount of…

that function as catalysts. Catalysts speed up reactions by bringing substrates together into a precise orientation. The enzyme that will be tested is sucrase. Sucrase is secreted within the small intestine which will be used to speed up hydrolysis reaction into the products glucose and fructose. Therefore, the pH within a solution of benedict’s reagent will be tested for its reaction rate. This experiment will test the hypothesis if pH increases, reaction rate increases as well. Materials and…

3-(4-acetylphenyl)-6-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (2) Compound 1 ( 0.01 mol) fused with p-aminoacetophenone ( 0.01 mol) at 160 oC in an oil bath for 2 h. Crystallized from ethanol to give redish brown crystals of 2, m.p. 210oC in 80% yield. Analysis for C22H14BrClN2O2, Calcd.: % C, 58.24; H, 3.11; N, 6.17, Found: % C, 58.31; H, 3.17; N, 6.20, IR spectrum (KBr, cm-1) showed characteristic absorption bands at 3380 (C-H aromatic), 1710 (C=O of acetyl), at 1690 (C=O of…

level then the enzyme will work more efficiently so the rate of reaction will increase now as the pH changes away from the optimum the rate will decrease. At what temperature is the rate of enzyme activity the highest? Lowest? Explain. The highest rate of enzyme activity was the warm temperature. The warm was the highest because the enzyme was at a regular temperature where it was comfortable enough to have a good rate of reaction. The lowest one was hot temperature. This was because the enzyme…

boiling point and molecular structure. To do this we used four different chemicals, all with the same molecule but just with different subscripts. To preform this experiment, we were required to use a hot plate, water bath, alcohols, ketones, and alkalines, a test tube, capillaries, and a test tube cap. Once the water was boiling, we lowered the test tube into the water and waited until the chemical began to boil. Once the chemical began to boil we removed the test tube from the water bath.…

that can bind to specific proteins. However, this technique results in a highly purified material unlike the size-exclusion technique. Also, affinity chromatography is useful in understanding the enzymatic activity without knowing other physical and chemical properties of the unknown protein. Size-exclusion chromatography is used in the last stages of protein purification while affinity chromatography is used as the first step in purifying proteins. The limitation to size exclusion…
