Observations of Chemical Changes Objectives: (1 of 20 points) The objectives of this experiment are: 1. To observe some properties of chemical reactions 2. To associate chemical properties with household products Background Information: (2 of 20 points) Chemical changes are often accompanied by physical changes. Three that you should not see in this lab are changes in temperature, presence of a flame, and evolution of light, as when as firefly glows. Three physical changes that indicate a chemical change

molecular gastronomy, spherification, chemical reactions, and solutions. Molecular gastronomy is the area of food science that explores how to make these spheres, as well as other ways ingredients in our food are physically and chemically changed (Rowland). Molecular gastronomy looks at how molecules in our food change (Rowland). When you make dishes with pure compounds, it is difficult. Another way is to go back

Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL, then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab, we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc

D(CD)n, that follow essentially a most probable distribution. The principle chemical reaction involved in the synthesis of polyurethanes is the urethane-forming reaction, i.e., the reaction between isocyanate and hydroxyl groups. Because this is a nucleophilic addition reaction, it is catalyzed by basic compounds such as tertiary amines and by metal compounds such as organotin. Urethane formation is actually an equilibrium reaction; the presence of catalyst therefore

catalysts by lowering the energy that the chemical reaction requires to occur. Certain enzymes only catalyze certain biochemical reactions and this property is known as enzyme-substrate specificity. Living organisms can produce many different enzymes. In order to further explain enzyme-substrate specificity, a basic knowledge about active sites on enzymes is required. An active site is where substrates can be bind to the enzymes and where the biochemical reactions are catalyzed. Active sites can be found

is reached, the reaction rate will then decrease due to the high temperatures denaturing the catalase enzyme. The averages of both the collated froth volume produced and reaction rate, show that as the temperature increased from 10°C to about 30°C the reaction rate increased. Once 30°C the reaction rate generally started to decrease. Although the expected optimum temperature was approximately

Introduction Stoichiometry measures the amount of reactants and products in a chemical reaction by comparing their ratios in an equation. Because, matter cannot be destroyed, the same number of moles of an element that go into a reaction must be present in the product. Sometimes the proportions of two reacting molecules aren’t exact. When this happens, there is a limiting reagent and an excess reagent. The limiting reagent dictates how much of the product can be created, or “limits” the product

before the catalase was added, but then increased temperature to a peak of 33 degrees celsius and after 5 minutes to a final temp of 29.5 degrees celsius. This is a proof that a chemical change occurred meaning the H2O2 was broken down using the enzyme Catalase, which sped up the chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is not seen for the second hypothesis, if the boiled catalase solution is added to the H202, then there will be no significant increase in temp compared to the control. That means

Mubarak Alkhulifi 12/2/15 How Sun Produces Light and Heat? It is a common among human beings that our brain asks questions regarding everything, which comes in front of us in our daily routine. We tend to explore why and how it occurred or was produced and we try to get to the core of it. With the development of this universe, man is now questioning how it was created. But, unlike other man made stuff, the core of this universe is pretty complex to understand since it has many other things linked

Enzymes play an important role in chemical reactions. Chemical transformations would take place at a profoundly slow rate if enzymes were to be absent (Madden, Fox, p. 41). When the enzymes work to speed up the reactions the reaction process does not deplete them though. There are factors that can change the activity rate for enzymes. Some of these factors include: the pH of the reaction system, the temperature of the reaction system, and the concentration comparisons of the substrate and enzyme
