The Biological Temperature Of Catalase

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.

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reaction, and they work best at their optimal conditions (optimum pH, temperature etc.) but when the environment is not close to the optimum conditions, the enzymes denature and do not function anymore1. An excellent example would of the effect of temperature on yeast fermentation would be that the bacterial cells if exposed to very high temperature (above the optimal) would no longer function since their enzymes are denatured. The yeast would produce the most Carbon dioxide in the optimal temperature (45 °C ±1/°C) and other temperatures below the optimal temperature would not produce sufficient Carbon dioxide and any temperature above will produce too much that it will lead to the sinking of the bread and death of yeast because its enzymes have been denatured, therefore the reaction will stop. The bread will certainly sink if is not exposed to the right temperature the yeast will not ferment

Kinetic theory states that molecules are always in constant motion. Kinetic energy and molecule velocity increases as temperature increases. Reactions require collisions between reactant molecules or atoms. In chemical reactions, the reactants change into products when molecule collide with enough energy to break old bonds to make new ones. Collisions increase or become more violent between molecules at higher temperatures or decrease as the temperature is lowered.

The goal of the experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions and use the silver nitrate and sodium iodide tests to determine if the product is a primary or secondary hydrocarbon. The heterogeneous reaction mixture contains 1-hexene, 48% HBr(aq), and tetrabutylammonium bromide and was heated to under reflux conditions. Heating under reflux means that the reaction mixture is heated at its boiling point so that the reaction can proceed at a faster rate. The attached reflux condenser allows volatile substances to return to the reaction flask so that no material is lost. Since alkenes are immiscible with concentrated HBr, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase-transfer catalyst.

”(Factors that affect the boiling point of water.) Overall there are many ways that water 's boiling point can be affected by outside forces, but the focus will be on alkaseltzer tablets and how they influence water 's boiling point. The active ingredients in the alka seltzer tablet are “As the tablets dissolve, the sodium bicarbonate splits apart to form sodium and bicarbonate ions. The bicarbonate ions react with hydrogen ions from the citric acid to form carbon dioxide gas (and water). This is how the bubbles are made.

When tin chloride is added to the solution, Sn2+ took away positive charged ions; Fe3+ to Fe2+ (2Fe3+(aq) + Sn2+(aq) → 2Fe2+(aq) + Sn4+(aq)). This took away Fe3+ from the solution, causing the equilibrium to change to the reactants to balance the concentration of Fe2+. The solution turned a lighter color to increased rate of the reverse reaction. When AgNO3 was added to the solution, the silver nitrate broke down into Ag+ and

(1) If the crucibles were not put in the oven at the end of the experiment, there could be excess moisture trapped in the crucible. This contributes to the mass of the weighed crucible at the end of the experiment, meaning the mass would be higher than it would normally be. After calculations, it can be concluded that the moisture in the crucible shifts the data up, creating an artificially high concentration of Al3+. (2) Reading the volumetric pipet to 25.00mL is an incredibly crucial step in this experiment because it’s the only source of Al3+ that is added to the reaction. This step affects the end result when weighing the precipitate because in the reaction, the Al3+ is the limiting reagent and is in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio with the precipitate product.

They dissolve more quickly, and a greater amount of the solution dissolves. The other way to change the solubility, is when the solution is a gas, is to change the pressure. At high pressure the gas solubility in a liquid solvent increases(1). However, for gases. the opposite is true.

The volume of the metal has the tendency to increase exponentially as well. It is governed by thermal expansion coefficient α (K-1)= 2.924 x 10-5 + 2.920 x 10-10 (T-300)2. There are two factors that affect the thermal expansions: 1. Angular variations due to the changes of Fe-O-P bridging angles.

Specifically, this investigation analyses how the initial temperature effects the rate of Hydrogen Peroxide oxidising Potential Acid Sulfate Soil. Only when a rapid reaction took place, PASS has been oxidised using Redox theory with the presence of pyrite or other sulphides to react. The hypothesis that the rate of oxidation is correlates with the initial temperature of the solution is true, with the theory being supported that the higher temperatures result in increased reaction speed. This lab test was conducted over two different depths of PASS, with three trials of five temperatures for each of the two depths.

Part A When sodium was added to water, the sodium melted to form a ball that moved around on the surface of water rapidly and hydrogen gas was produced. Because of the amount of heat liberated during this exothermic reaction, the hydrogen gas ignited the sodium with an orange flame while floating on the water. Also, when potassium was put onto the water, the observation was similar to how sodium reacted towards water. The metal was also set on fire, with sparks and a lilac flame. But, in the case of speed of tarnishing between the two elements, potassium was faster than sodium.

Enzymes are catalysts in biological systems, that lower the activation energy, so that molecules can begin reacting with each other. Since enzymes have a very selective active site, if the enzyme shape is changed or denatured, it won’t allow the enzyme to bind. Catalytic enzymes break down the toxic hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. (Bryer) (Baker) The purpose of these labs were to see how different concentrations of pH, and hydrogen peroxide would affect the enzymes, catalase and

Observing the effects of a catalyst on an enzyme’s rate of reaction Leong, M., Kim, E., Nair, A. Achilly, K., 9/22/2015 Introduction: An enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst. A catalyst increases the rate of reaction by reducing the activation energy required (Reece 2005). Catalase, an enzyme produced by most living organisms, catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 in our bodies in order to maintain homeostasis.

More photolysis reactions take place because their job is to replace electrons in the photosystems, leading to increased oxygen output. This will only continue until the reaction has approached its optimum level. There, the light intensity will no longer be the limiting

The slightly negative end of another hydrogen chloride particle will become attracted to the other end of the particle which has a slight positive charge. Therefore the two dipoles will become drawn together because the electrons are not shared between the two particles of hydrogen chloride. The melting point of hydrogen chloride is -85.05 Celsius however water has a boiling point of 100 degrees. Therefore this proves that hydrogen bonding in water is more powerful than hydrogen chloride because water is more polar than HCL . Water has a higher boiling water because more energy is needed to break the water molecules apart in hydrogen chloride.
