Hydrogen Peroxide Temperature Lab Report

Effect of Yeast on Temperature on Hydrogen Peroxide Solution in Water Khalid Al Sabeeh Ms. Dobrin 11-G Chemistry HL Jan 5, 2015 Abstract: Within this lab yeast was added to hydrogen peroxide solution in water. Temperature was the factor to be tested. In all trials, the initial and final, when yeast was added temperatures increased by 10˚C respectfully per trial. This is because hydrogen peroxide is unstable and when decomposed it increases the thermal temperature. Introduction: Hydrogen peroxide (H202) is an often-unstable compound that has a similar chemical formula with water but with an extra oxygen (Cool Science). Hydrogen peroxide has many uses and benefits that include: fighting infections, alternative to bleach, removing mold, and sanitizing meat as well as many other functions (Andrea Harper). Hydrogen peroxide is often decomposed into oxygen and water but with usual environments it decomposes at a slow pace. Within the decomposition of hydrogen …show more content…

o For all three trails the H202 solution in water increase by 10˚C in terms of before and after yeast is added. o The third trial has the same trend of increase as the first two but begins and ends with a 1˚C higher than the previous trials. Data processing: Number of moles for the hydrogen peroxide (H202) 34.02 = Mr Mass = 20g x 0.03 = 0.6 0.6÷34.02 = 0.017 moles Conclusion: What was learned in this lab is temperature rises when a hydrogen peroxide solution in water is activated by yeast. The hypothesis is supported by the data. Referring to what was stated, the Hydrogen peroxide solution did change based yeast that activated the solution, many were similar in temperature. This is because the yeast decomposes the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. This is because hydrogen peroxide is unstable and when decomposed increases in thermal

    The temperature probe was then quickly cooled to room temperature. When this was achieved, the hot water was immediately transferred into the calorimeter. This method of keeping the temperature probe cooled before measuring a new temperature was repeated throughout the entire experiment. Temperature data was collected for 180 s while swirling the temperature inside the calorimeter. The calorimeter still contained the warm water.

    ABSTRACT To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. In this experiment we examined how increasing the volume of the extract added to the reaction would affect the rate of the reaction. The enzyme used was horseradish peroxidase which helps catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Using different pH levels, the absorbance rate of the reaction was measured to see at which condition the enzyme worked best. The rates of absorption were calculated using a spectrophotometer in 20 second intervals up to 120 seconds.

    The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.

    The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.

    1% glucose, 1% maltose and 1% lactose all progressively get positive results by changing colours to reddish brown at the end of this experiment. In this case the aldehyde functional group that is present in the products (monosaccharides and some disaccharides) in this reaction is able to reduce copper in the presence of alkali and this produces colour changes while converting to an aldose sugar. Honey is made of fructose and glucose which instantly turned brown after the test-tube was placed in the boiling water because of its active aldehyde and carbonyl group. The copper (II) sulphate present in the Benedict’s solution reacts with electrons from the aldehyde group which results in a redox reaction to from cuprous oxide, a red brown precipitate that seen in all of the above mentioned solutions (Hill, 1982). Beer also gave positive results because it contains aldehydes and ketones (i.e. acetone, trans-2-butenal, furfual) during its beer production process where the sugars are converted through fermentation (Hill, 1982).

    I predicted that the control would have a higher alcohol content than the experimental since beta and alpha amylase are working together. Since only Alpha-Amylase worked in the experimental, there was probably bigger carbohydrates present in the flask, therefore, there was a lower alcohol percentage since yeast can’t digest bigger sugars. b. My results also matched my prediction regarding mean reducing carbohydrate levels during the mashing process between the control and the experimental. My prediction stated that there would be less reducing carbohydrate ends in the experimental, which was proven in the data table.

    Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of a reaction without being chemically changed. Enzymes are globular proteins that contain an active site. A specific substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme chemically and structurally (4). Enzymes also increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy for that reaction which is the minimum energy required for the reaction to take place (3). Multiple factors affect the activity of an enzyme (1).

    Next, weigh out 5 grams of sugar and 1 gram of yeast. Once in proportions, add it to test tube A. Thoroughly mix around the sugar, yeast, and tap water. You can do this by shaking the test tube gently. Make sure you do not turn it upside down. Then, cover the top of the test tube with a balloon and gently place it into a 400mL beaker filled up about half way (about 250mL) with water.

  • Active Dry Yeast Lab Report

    The hypothesis for this experiment was if there was a higher amount of yeast added to the hydrogen peroxide and water that there would be a greater reaction causing the pressure to build faster because of the higher amount of enzymes (yeast). The hypothesis created was proven true in the tests of active yeast for 1 ml of active dry yeast ended up having a kPa of 131.8 at 93 seconds and with 2 ml of dry yeast the kPa reached 108 at 63 seconds. At 2 ml even though it had a lower pressure reading the rubber stopper popped of sooner meaning the pressure rose much faster than in the trial with 1 ml of active yeast. In the fast rise yeast which did not act as well as the active yeast the data from those trials did not support our hypothesis due to

Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.
