    the perception of limiting reactants. According to Dr. Wile “When there is more than one reactant in a chemical equation, one of the those reactants will usually run out first, stopping the entire reaction” (Wile) The general thought of mixing vinegar and baking soda together to create a chemical reaction has been practiced many times over in science classes around the world. At times, the reaction was used to propel a small rudimentary rocket, or as in the case of this experiment to blow up a balloon

    activity is also increased. This occurs because an enzyme is a catalyst that speeds up a chemical reaction by breaking the chemical bond in a substrate. The substrate is the reactant that is consumed in the reaction as it fits in the active sites of the enzyme. This is called the lock-and-key mechanism, where the enzyme grabs a hold of the substrate which known as the induced fit. Therefore, when the reaction speeds up, the concentration is increased. This makes more particles, leading to more collisions

    that reactions occurred in all four test tubes. This means that all four test tubes turned out to be positive reactions. The data collected regarding the reactions did not meet the expectation. The expectation was that two out of the four tubes would yield a reaction. To be specific, the expectation was that only one of the first two tubes would have a reaction, and only one of the second two tubes (tubes 3&4) would have a reaction. This was the expectation because the goal of the reactions was to

    being ‘the central compound for life’. (Moulton) An enzyme refers to a protein that folds into complex shapes, which allow smaller molecules to fit inside of them, this is known as the active site. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. (Abpischools.org.uk) Trypsin is an enzyme important to the digestion of proteins in the body. The protein is produced in the human body, within the pancreas, in the inactive form of trypsinogen, this is then converted into

    centre. In order to keep the pool clean, a chemical known as chlorine. Chlorine is chemical that is toxic, irritant and is pale green. Chlorine is proven is kill bacteria that are hazardous to humans through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction takes place as once the chlorine is placed in the water it breaks down in to various chemicals which including two chemicals known as hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and hypochlorite ion (OCI-). These two specific chemicals kill microorganism and bacteria by destroying

    the replacement of used molecules, cells need energy for particular activities, such as movement. Endergonic and exergonic reactions have many similarities and differences. They both lose some energy through heat. For endergonic (energy-gaining) reactions, the change in energy state is positive. The final state of the reaction has more energy than the initial state. The reaction will not occur without the input of energy, as energy is absorbed. Usually the products, or final state, is more complex

    1. We used TLC analysis to identify each product obtained from the dihydroxylation reactions by spotting a TLC plate with the product of our reaction, a solution of cis-cyclohexane, trans-cyclohexane, and a 50:50 mixture of the two. We then placed the plate in a beaker with ethyl acetate saturating the atmosphere to allow the TLC plate to develop. Finally, we compared Rf values of the components of the mobile phase, after the phase was completed. 100% ethyl acetate was used instead of 100% Hexane

    Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Objectives: The lab experiment will consist of oxidation-reduction and double displacement reactions as well as titration techniques. All these components will be used in order to determine the percent composition of pennies. In conducting redox and double displacement we are able to analyze a penny and figure out the chemical composition of the product. The experiment entails careful observations and recording of evidence for a chemical reaction. In this experiment

    Order Disorder In the universe, energy is everything. The entire universe is built off energy constantly flowing. The definition of energy is, “The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.” This strength, and vitality in every object varies. As such, all objects can support themselves, and are active. Subsequently, the brain processing information through the body to react, and the body reacting to this is a perfect example of how energy works. One would

    acids that are linked together, to form a specific shape in order to create a chemical reaction. Functions of an enzyme includes increasing the speed of a reactions, they also act with one reactant to produce products and they regulate high to low and low to high enzyme activity. Peroxidase are enzymes whose primary function is to break down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Isoenzymes are enzyme group that catalyzes the same reaction but receive different products. Question- Are peroxidase isoenzymes different
