  • Investigating the Rate of Reaction between Amylase and Starch

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    the volume of amylase affects the rate of reaction between amylase and starch. Prediction: I predict that the greater the volume of amylase then the faster the rate of reaction between the starch and amylase will be. I predict this because of the lock and key hypothesis. The lock and key hypothesis explains how the substrate molecule (the starch) fits inside the enzyme. The substrate molecule is then broken up into many smaller pieces. In this experiment the larger the volume of amylase

  • Accuracy And Measurements Lab Report

    548 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introduction: In this experiment we determined the difference in accuracy of two different sized cylinders. Accuracy is a measure of how close something is to its true value. To determine the accuracy we had to measure the volume and compare it to the theoretical volume, finding the relative error. Following this we used the density of water, 0.99720 g/mL, along with the mass we determined with a scale, to determine the volume of water in a 10 mL pipet using the formula D=mv. Objective: The purpose

  • Oil Glass Bottle Procedure

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    the volume of the oil glass bottle you would need to find the volume of all three truncated cones and the volume of the half sphere and plus them all together. To find the volume of the truncated cones, you need to use the formula V = π [s (R + r) + R2 + r2], this will give you the volume for all the truncated cones. Also to find the volume of the half sphere is two-thirds times pi times radius3 (2/3 x π x r3). Once these volumes have been found and plus together, you would receive the volume of the

  • Measuring Using A Graduated Cylinder

    1459 Words  | 3 Pages

    INTRODUCTION Some Types of measurements include length, volume, mass and temperature. Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end. Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container. Mass, is the quantity of matter that a body contains, as measured by its acceleration under a given force or by the force exerted on it by a gravitational force. Temperature, is the degree or intensity of a het present in a substance or object

    2322 Words  | 5 Pages

    Measuring the Viscosity of a Liquid Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out how fluid Bath Oils really are by measuring its viscosity. Plan The first thing that I'll do is to measure the spheres volume by first measuring its radius. I will then, by calculating the spheres mass, be able to calculate the density of the sphere. This will be used later when calculating the viscosity of the bath oil. I will then find the density of the bath oil, also used during calculations later

  • Expansion and Contraction of Materials

    902 Words  | 2 Pages

    Expansion and Contraction of Materials When most materials are heated they expand and this increase their volume. One example of expansion is the fitting of the starter ring gear to the flywheel. The gear is heated until it expands sufficiently to pass over the rim of the flywheel, and when it is cool the gear tries to return to its original size, this gripping the flywheel with considerable force. All metals do not expand equally when heated through the same range of temperature, e.g. aluminium

    written above Tintern Abbey', the concluding statement of the 1798 volume. The poem reads rather like the recitation of a liturgy. Wordsworth recollects his own faith by restating it, and in doing so he discovers its truth and its guarantee of continuity: "in this moment there is life and food / For future years" (ll. 65-6). However sceptical readers have become about the Wordsworthian-Coleridgean creed, the monumental quality of the volume is not entirely a figment of a literary history in search of Great

    of how Changing the Volume of Water in a Container Affects Its Rate of Heat Loss Aim : To investigate how changing the volume of water in a container affects its rate of its heat loss. The variable of this investigation is the volume of water which is put in the container. What I already know: I already know that the larger the volume of water there is the less heat loss occurs. I can tell this from my previous pilot experiment where I investigated, if the volume of water in a beaker

  • Orange Buoyancy: Is An Orange Floats In Water

    perspective the object’s weight and that things which are really light usually float. We never think about how something that is big and heavy like a big ship can float. Although big ships are very heavy they can float because they have a very large volume and take up a lot of space. This particular experiment will mainly focus on whether an orange floats or sinks in water. My prediction was that the orange would float since it weighed less than the orange with the rind\peel on. This experiment will

    50cm, which he uses to make drains. The semi-circle is the best shape for a drain. Prove this. I will prove this by comparing its volume to that of other shapes. On older houses there are semi-circular drains but on newer houses there is fancier ones like pentagon shapes. Is this because they are better or is it simply for design? To find the volume of a 3D object I have to find the area of a cross section and then multiply that by the length of the object. To make it easier IÂ’m going

  • Archimedes Research Paper

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    Archimedes was one of the last ancient Greek mathematicians, following in the footsteps of Plato, Socrates, and Euclid. Historians call him "the wise one," "the master" and "the great geometer". Although he was also a scientist and inventor, it was his work in mathematics that has ranked him as one of the three most important mathematicians in history, along with Sir Isaac Newton and Carl Friedrich Gauss. Further, he was one of the first scientists to perform experiments to prove his theories. Archimedes’
