being obtained. How does changing the concentration of enzyme affect the rate of decomposition of H2O2? The changing of concentration of enzymes affects the rate of decomposition of H2O2 because increasing enzyme concentration will increase the rate of decomposition and decreasing enzyme concentration will naturally decrease the rate. The higher the concentration of an enzyme, the faster the rate of decomposition…
Catalase is an enzyme that accelerates the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Catalase is a tetramer, composed of four monomers wrapped into a dumbbell shape (Nguyen). Each monomer has a heme molecule, a part indispensable to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The heme molecule is responsible for binding oxygen. It is disc like in shape and contains an iron atom at their center. In the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide the heme molecule attaches one oxygen…
covalent bonds. This experiment consisted of using experimental techniques to synthesize and decompose highly reactive, thus unstable, interhalogens that seemingly violate the octet rule. Synthesis reaction: KClO3 + I2 + 6HCl → KCl + 2ICl3 + 3H2O Decomposition reaction: I2Cl6 → 2ICl + 2Cl2 The halogens used within this experiment consisted of Iodine and Chlorine to produce an oxidizing reagent Iodine trichloride. Due to electron orbitals and their interactions…
pH level is 7 and our results were all around the benchmark of 7, with our average being 7.01. We noticed that although there was turbidity with our water, it did not change the pH level because the cause was due to the waste dripping from the decomposition chamber. We noticed the plant grow throughout the experiment. Although the plant was growing, the dissolved oxygen levels stayed relatively the same except for a sudden drop in the 11/16 measurement which might have some correlation with the…
al., 1996). The aerosol droplets experience evaporation of the solvent during the transport to the substrate. 4.7.3 Decomposition of precursor: When the droplet hits the heayed substrate surface many processes takes place simultanaously, evaporation of the solvent, spreading of the droplet, and salt decomposition. Different steps during the pyrolysis of the aerosol decomposition are shown below: A) In the first step, an aqueous precursor solution is converted into aerosols…
This week we learned lots about the decomposition of our relations we are creating in the database as well how to make the relations into normal forms, which there are three normal forms. I learned that there can be data that is redundant and therefore not useful for the database. This data has no integrity and can be misplaced and even confuse how the data can be used and retrieved. This type of problem must be avoided. I had a hard time understanding how the breaking down of one relation into…

turn influences all living things, including soil microorganisms” ( Brady, Weil 2008). Changes in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, temperature, and precipitation amounts and patterns will modify the soil plant system, and influence decomposition rates which will have impacts…
Lead (Pb) is one of an important contaminant surrounding our environment. Lead occur naturally in all soil and water (1), or can be found deep within the ground located in ore (2). Although lead can be found in small quantities, there is a great quantity of lead flow in the environment that is detrimental to human beings and plants. However, despite lead is a toxic metal, there are still lots of households products contains lead; burning of paper products, discarded rubber, battery casings, and…
A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, which are the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, which are the products. The substances in a chemical reaction are either chemical elements or compounds. There are different observations that indicate a chemical reaction has taken place. Formation of precipitate, which is a solid formed in a chemical reaction. Precipitate can take place when solutions containing ionic compounds are mixed and an insoluble…
