Elimination reaction

Chemical kinetics are governed by the mathematics of systems of differential equations (Thermodynamics and Kinetics). This means that the rate of any chemical reaction is determined by the type, and amount, of reactants present. Note the rate of a reaction is how fast it occurs. Furthermore, such rate equations can either be distinctively linear or non-linear when graphed. Non-linear equations are supposedly more complex as they generally react to small changes within its parameters…

It is important to study reactions to queue jumping simply because of the social implications that are derived from this, as understanding how people function within a social in-group and how they react to an out-group can be vital. Through this knowledge one may able to apply this…

with solid iron metal. The techniques used in this lab were weighing by difference, quantitative transfer, and vacuum filtration. At the end of the experiment it was found that iron was the limiting reactant and iron(II)sulfate was a product of the reaction between 7.0002g of copper(II)sulfate and 2.0101g iron metal which produced 2.3037g of copper product with a percent yield of 100.72%. Introduction: Much research has gone into studying how to best utilize the degradation abilities of…

cells. This lab explores how catalase reacts to four different temperatures and how the concentration percentage of substrate affects its reaction rate. The performance of catalase is dependent on many factors, so the purpose of the lab was to find the ideal concentration and temperature for catalase. We hypothesized that catalase would have the fastest reaction at its preferred temperature and at the highest substrate concentration. The results revealed that catalase, in fact, did perform…

In Heather E. Douglas’s essay “The Dark Side of Science”, she mentioned that scientists should be responsible for their discoveries that are used to the awful advantages that they could be used for. Scientist who makes these discoveries may know what they can endure. Scientist usually knows how there discovers will end up, but mostly they do not think of the reproductions that could happen if they ended up being used for the wrong intended purposes for that particular discovery. Douglas writes…

Analysis of Galvanized Nails, Quality Control, and Green Chemistry Introduction: In this lab, we handled acidic chemicals that needed to be disposed of upon completion of the lab. We disposed of these chemicals according to safety policies and green chemistry policies. Green Chemistry is the practice of chemistry in an environmentally safe way to prevent pollution. We used green chemistry to minimize the amount of waste we were to be creating. We ended up creating waste from degalvanizing…

Enzymes are known as catalysts that cause reactions to occur more rapidly by lowering the reaction’s activation energy. A reaction’s activation energy is known as the minimum amount of energy required to get a chemical reaction started1. In order for cells to efficiently manage thousands of different chemical reactions, they make use of biological catalysts. Without these catalysts, biological reactions would not be able to proceed at a proper rate necessary to maintain life. Most, but not all,…

physical and chemical change. The melting of the wax is an example of physical change, the heat source caused the surrounding wax to melt and drip down the sides of the candle, which then re-hardened after exposure to the air. The flame, is a chemical reaction, which burns wax vapor, which combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. Without…

Group Members Zoe Ching, Juliet Contreras, Ailly Lam, Aleksi Ska. Background information Enzymes are biological catalysts, which speed up the rate of chemical reactions. The pancreas produces a concentrated solution containing a mixture of enzymes – amylase, lipase and protease. In this experiment you will examine the effect of protease on casein, the protein found in milk. When the protease breaks down the casein, the opaque solution will become transparent. Theoretically, Enzyme activity…

Damaged hair, as much as it hurts to say this, all hair eventually becomes damaged in some way. Damaged hair is a problem because as hair follicles start to dry out and split, your hair’s natural instinct is to try and take care of itself with it’s natural oils. Those natural oils are what we call: hair grease. The more damaged the hair is, the more oils come out to try and help it get back to a good shape. The problem with that is, with hair styling and extra product, those oils don’t help your…
