The difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is that endothermic absorbs heat and exothermic releases heat. For example, an endothermic reaction was performed in reaction four. Reaction four is where we recorded the temperature of the acetic acid before the reaction took place. We left the thermometer in the solution and poured sodium bicarbonate into the acetic acid. The result was the product dropped 6°C, this was an endothermic reaction because it lost heat, or had the cooling effect. The example for an exothermic reaction was reaction two. We placed a piece of aluminum in CuCl2 and waited for the reaction. The aluminum produced a gas and the product became hot to the touch. This is an example of an exothermic reaction because heat was exerted. …show more content…
A synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a different substance. The difference between a decomposition reaction and a synthesis reaction is decomposition breaks down and synthesis combines the reactions. An example for decomposition is reaction one. In reaction one we ignited the wood splint and poured Manganese dioxide into the hydrogen peroxide. We blew out the flame of the wood splint and only inserted the glowing end of the wood splint into the gas generated in the test tube. Oxygen was generated and caused the wood splint to burst into flames. An example for synthesis was reaction six. We placed Cu into the AgNO3. This reaction was rather slow, but what happened was the copper turned brown, almost like it was rusting. Then the copper expanded, had a grey color tint and looked fluffy and fuzzy. This is an example of a synthesis
As much as 95% of employers favor urine testing as a method for drug testing, and this one piece of statistic may have positively affected the trend and demand for synthetic urine over the years.
I would suggest to students performing the nitration to make sure their benzoic acid product is very fine and broken up before reacting it, as it has a tendency to clump together when it dries and thus proves very difficult to react in solution. I would also suggest keeping a very close eye on the temperature when adding the sulfuric/nitric acid mixture dropwise, as the reaction has a tendency to spike in temperature
Enzymes are biomolecules that catalyze or assist chemical reactions. ("Enzyme Information - Disabled World", n.d.,) Without enzymes it would be impossible for an organism to carry out chemical reactions. Enzymes are proteins that carry a chemical reaction for a specific substance or nutrient. For example, the digestive enzymes help food to be broken down so it can be absorbed. Enzymes can either initiate the reaction or speed it up. Substrates are the chemicals that are transformed by enzymes. (Gunsch & Foster, 2014) Reactants are the chemicals in the absence of enzymes. Metabolic pathways that occur in a cell are determined by a set of enzymes which are selective for their substrates and catalyze only a few reactions among the many possibilities.
The first step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to balance the equation like this 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 ----> 4 CO2 + 6 H20. The second step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to find the mole ratio which is 2 moles of C2H6 : 6 moles of H20. The third step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to multiply this by the mole ratio like this 6 moles of water / 2 moles of ethane * 11.7 moles of ethane = 35.1 moles of water. The fourth step that I did to find the number of grams
A precipitation reaction can occur when two ionic compounds react and produce an insoluble solid. A precipitate is the result of this reaction. This experiment demonstrates how different compounds, react with each other; specifically relating to the solubility of the compounds involved. The independent variable, will be the changing of the various chemical solutions that were mixed in order to produce different results. Conversely the dependent variable will be the result of the independent variable, these include the precipitates formed, and the changes that can be observed after the experiment has been conducted. The controlled variable will be the measurement of ten droplets per test tube.
Anabolism builds up molecules similar to what can be found in food. It builds up, for example, carbohydrates and proteins. Like catabolism, anabolism also occurs in three stages. The first stage of anabolism creates the parts needed to create the molecules.
Use your knowledge about the four signs of a chemical reaction to identify the chemical change in the following examples. What sign is observed and what is the new substance formed? Choose one of the examples below. The sign(s) of a chemical reaction should be identified along with the new substances formed if possible. Use the Internet to do further research if necessary. A water purification plant needs to remove an excess of lead and mercury from a stream of water before it can be sent into the city reservoir. The addition of ground up clam and mussel shells (calcium carbonate) to the water results in a black solid (lead or mercury carbonate) being formed in the water that can be filtered and removed from the liquid.
The porpoise of these is to determine the Specific Heat. Also known as Heat Capacity, the specific heat is the amount of the Heat Per Unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature changed is usually expected in the form shown. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.
Chemical kinetics is a branch of chemistry that involves reaction rates and the steps that follow in. It tells you how fast a reaction can happen and the steps it takes to make complete the reaction (2). An application of chemical kinetics in everyday life is the mechanics of popcorn. The rate it pops depends on how much water is in a kernel. The more water it has the quicker the steam heats up and causes a reaction- the popping of the kernel (3). Catalysts, temperature, and concentration can cause variations in kinetics (4).
Introduction: Respiration, commonly known as the inhalation, exhaling or breathing, has a little known definition. This is the definition that involves the cellular level of eukaryotic cells. Cellular respiration may best be described by the following equation: C6h1206+602-6CO2+6H20+36ATP. ATP is the energy needed for a cell to function as part of cellular respiration. ATP is needed to power the cell processes.
In this lab, it was determined how the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is affected by physical factors such as enzyme concentration, temperature, and substrate concentration affect. The question of what factors influence enzyme activity can be answered by the results of peroxidase activity and its relation to temperature and whether or not hydroxylamine causes a reaction change with enzyme activity. An enzyme is a protein produced by a living organism that serves as a biological catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction and does so by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. With that energy reactants are brought together so that products can be formed.
There are many adaptations that can occur in thermophiles but some of the most common adaptations are an increased number of large hydrophilic residues, disulfide bonds, and ionic interactions. Adapting to have a large hydrophobic core is important when it comes to the folding and stability of the protein. Increasing disulfide bonds is important in preventing alteration to the protein structure. The increased disulfide bonds are also important in oligomerization. An example of this would be citrate synthetase fromprobaculum aerophium which showed that their use of disulfide bonds to create cyclized protein chains kept them form separating and allowing themselves to withstand the heat. Ionic interaction adaptations are seen in the desolvation
Synthesis is the process of producing a chemical compound usually by the union of simpler chemical compounds. For example, photosynthesis, the word photo means putting together with light. Photosynthesis is the process of converting sunlight into food for organic organisms such as plants. Photosynthesis is the basis of life for planet earth and without it; not only would we not be able to produce the fruits and vegetables that we consume, but the food to feed the animals that we eat. Plants absorb this sunlight which in turn makes oxygen in a process called respiration. This delicate cycle is what allows us to thrive on this planet. Although much of the life on this planet relies on photosynthesis in one way or another, there is another form of synthesis that is equally as important, chemosynthesis.
This form of chemical reaction is known as a single displacement reaction and is exothermic. The reaction is irreversible and is written as:
The purpose of the experiment is to identify and understand reactions under kinetic and thermodynamic control. A reaction under kinetic and thermodynamic control can form two different types of products. A reaction under kinetic control is known to be irreversible and the product is formed quickly. A reaction under thermodynamic control is known to require rigorous conditions. It is also reversible. The final product is more stable than the product made by kinetic control. The chart below shows the two types of reaction coordinates:
