Chemistry Write-Up The Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Aim: When Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3) is heated‚ Carbon dioxide and water are given off to leave a white powder. The aim is to find the equations for this reaction. Hypothesis: The experiment will prove which of the equations below is true. It will tell us whether Sodium Carbonate is produced or Sodium Oxide. 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O 2NaHCO3 Na2O + 2CO2 + H2O Variables: Independent: Original

this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)‚ and reacted

For many years Hydrogen peroxide was widely used for disinfecting‚ sterilization and its antiseptic properties‚ it is cheap and easily available OTC at any drug store or grocery store. “This readily available oxidant is rapidly converted to the highly reactive hydroxyl radical that damages an array of cellular components” (Atiyeh‚ Dibo‚ and Hayek‚ 2009). “The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA‚ 2014).

In my coursework I will investigate about enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying

one enzyme can carry out one type of reaction. The catalase enzyme speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. The hydrogen peroxide molecule acts as the substrate molecule and enters the active site where it is broke down into oxygen and water. The oxygen and water then leave the active site. Catalase enzyme Hydrogen peroxide (toxic) oxygen + water In the investigation I am doing‚ these are the factors I could change:

Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

The actual rate of a chemical reaction however is dependent on two things; the temperature the actual experiment is performed at‚ and the concentration pertaining to the reactants. The rate of a reaction more often

kind of role does hydrogen peroxide and a liver have in their chemical reaction? In the experiment‚ we saw they had a reaction‚ but completed further tests to determine whether they changed after the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is chemically changed into water and the liver is broken down in the reaction. In the experiment‚ a fresh piece of chicken liver was put into a test tube filled with 3% hydrogen peroxide. We knew a reaction was taking place because the hydrogen peroxide started to foam and

An Investigation on the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase on the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Plan Aim: To investigate the rate of the effect of Catalase on hydrogen peroxide. Introduction This investigation will be carried out to investigate the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase on the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up the rate of reaction without being used up during the reaction‚ which take place in living organisms. They do this by
