Exothermic reaction

In addition, higher SGR of V. parahaemolyticus was observed as the temperature increases. The MPD values of V. parahaemolyticus varies from the lowest 7.00 to the highest 8.91, regardless of the type of V. parahaemolyticus strain at the 3 different temperatures. The differences in LT values were increased as the temperature was increased. At 20 °C, the shortest LT was observed with the (tlh+) strain, followed by (tdh+/trh+), the mixture, the (tdh+) and the (trh+). At 25°C the strains likely kept…

The formation of benzilic acid results from the reaction of benzil with ethanol and potassium benzilate. In order to produce benzil, benzoin was reacted with nitric acid. A crude product of benzil was produced from the reaction of benzoin and nitric acid. Through the process of multi-step synthesis, benzil was produced through the oxidation of an alpha-hydroxyketone to an alpha-diketone using nitric acid. Prior to the reaction of nitric acid and benzoin, nitric acid was protonated to form an…

A similar experiment such as the reaction of Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent. Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new…

I. PURPOSE The purpose of this lab was to observe the physical properties of different samples of matter and to use your observations and knowledge of chemistry to classify each sample as an element, a compound or a mixture. II. MATERIALS 10 beakers containing different samples of matter III. PROCEDURE First off, put on a laboratory apron. Then, take a few minutes at each lab station and record three physical property observations of each sample of matter. Record the three physical property…

separating two metals. The galvanized iron was measured to two decimal places in centimeters then weighed for mass to three decimal places in grams. The galvanized iron was then stripped of it’s layer of zinc by using hydrochloric acid. The chemical reaction of the experiment is shown below: 2 HCl (aq) + Zn(s)----> H2 (g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) Once the iron was free of the zinc layer, it was then weighed again for its new mass. The mass remaining is the mass of the iron present that was…

The uptake of oxygen into muscles is what facilitates muscle contraction. Oxygen that is obtained through breathing by the lungs is transported to the rest of the body, as well as the heart by means of haemoglobin. The rate of liberation of oxygen from haemoglobin has an effect on the quantity of oxygen available in the muscles for a muscle contraction to ensue. The higher the oxygen concentration in the muscle the greater the force of muscle contraction. Temperature has an effect on the…

catalytic proteins made up of amino acids and are a key part of the breakdown and synthesis of virtually every biological catalysis reaction mechanism. The primary function of a catalytic enzyme is to increase the rate of reaction by helping the enzyme overcome the activation energy barrier without the reaction consuming or changing the enzyme. In enzymatic reactions, the substrate binds to the highly specific enzyme active site (the substrate-binding domain) and forms an enzyme-substrate…

recorded at time frame of 2 minutes for each solution. The initial velocity of the reaction (Vo) for each of the 5 samples was determined by plotting the change on the absorbance versus time. The slope was found from the…

Introduction Homeostasis is the state of a stable internal cell environment. If the cell is not in a state of homeostasis, then the cell will not be able to live and function properly. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable and controls what molecules enter and exit the cell. The plasma membrane keeps the environment inside the cell relatively stable which is the state of homeostasis. The goal of this investigation is to see if the size of the cell is affected when the cells are put in…

have negative effects on the cell, and could pose a health threat to the organism. Enzymes proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. They do this by acting as a template for substrate orientation, stressing the substrates and stabilizing the transition state, providing a favorable microenvironment, or participating directly in the reaction. All of these methods are implemented by the enzyme binding to the substrate or substrates. Substrates bind…
