Concentration Of H2O2 In Yeast

706 Words3 Pages

4.3: EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE A standard solution of H2O2 was prepared with a concentration of 0.1000 ± 0.0015 mol dm-3 by diluting a 0.88 mol dm-3 sample of H2O2 in an Erlenmeyer flask. Instantly, the Erlenmeyer flask was secured with a rubber stopper to limit the risk of H2O2 from decomposing quickly. Since the reaction of the decomposition of H2O2 with the catalase found in yeast is very fast, a low concentration of H2O2 was kept constant at 0.1000 ± 0.0015 mol dm-3 in order for the reaction to be observed more easily, hence also minimizing systematic errors. The water bath was completely filled with tap water and was set to 297.0 ± 0.1 K. Used a scoopula to take out Fleischmann’s active dry yeast from its container and measured exactly …show more content…

If the contents in the test tube were not equalised, then the test tube was allowed to rest in the water bath for 5.0 ± 0.6 minutes more. Attached the test tube to the utility clamp, while having the test tube still submerged in the water bath. Used a 10.0 ± 0.1 cm3 graduated cylinder to measure and transfer 10.0 ± 0.1 cm3 of prepared H2O2 solution into the test tube. Instantly, covered the test tube with the rubber tubing that had a one-hole rubber stopper attached to it and ensured that the rubber stopper fitted securely to avoid any leakage of oxygen gas. The set-up of the experiment at this point can be seen in Figure 3. Immediately, started the digital stopwatch (± 0.01) s and recorded the time taken (s) for 10.0 ± 0.5 cm3 of oxygen gas to be evolved. Repeated steps 5-13 four more times to minimize the impact of random error and allow for the collection of sufficient data. Then, all test tubes were thoroughly cleaned using a test tube brush to remove any leftover solutions. Afterwards, placed the test tubes in the test tube rack to air

Coursework Equipment List • Boiling tubes (8) I will use these because this is where I will mix both the sodium carbonate and the strontium nitrate in order to form the precipitate. I need 8 because I am going to add 8 different amounts of strontium nitrate (1-8cm³) to the 8cm³of sodium carbonate. • Measuring cylinder (1) I will use this to measure the 8cm³ of sodium carbonate and the varying amounts of strontium nitrate to put into the test tubes. • Sodium Carbonate (enough to fill 8 boiling tubes with 8cm³/64cm³)

Paragraph 1 The objective of the experiment is to test; how will water temperature affect the rate of reaction of an alka-seltzer tablet? The dependent variable of the experiment is the dissolving time. When an alka-seltzer tablet starts to fizz it begins to dissolve, due to the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the tablet contains (Clark, “Why does Alka-Seltzer fizz?).

“Collect” was clicked to begin data collection. Once the pressure and temperature stabilized in the boiling water bath, “Keep” was clicked. The heating was turned OFF on the hotplate, and ice was added to the bath to cool it. “Keep” was clicked once the temperature of the bath cooled to 95°C. The procedure was continued as the temperature continued to decrease, and “Keep” was clicked at every 5°C increment until the bath reached 0°C.

As mentioned in the hypothesis, the prediction is that as the temperature increases towards the optimal, the rate of respiration will increase. As the temperature exceeds the optimal, the rate of respiration will decrease. The temperature of the environment can be varied by placing the respiration chamber under a temperature-controlled water bath/cooling bath. The temperatures that will be used in this experiment will range from 0ºC to 50ºC in 10ºC increments. Digital thermometer will be used to measure the temperature of air.

The Effect of Sugar Concentration on CO2 Production by Cellular Respiration in Yeast Introduction In this lab, our main focus was to find how sugar concentration affect yeast respiration rates. This was to simulate the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to transfer energy from the organic molecules in food to ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate). Glucose, CO2, and yeast (used as a catalyst in this experiment) are a few of the many vital components that contribute to cellular respiration.

H20 + 2 O2 This experiment will use 1% catalase solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, both diluted into water so the reaction slows down. Temperature will be controlled in this experiment to change the reaction speed of the enzyme and the substrate, this is what the experiment is looking at. The effect of the temperature will be determined by how much gas is released in two minutes, which will change the pressure inside the test tube and will be measured by a gas

Joshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.

Along with being found in plants, they are also present in liver cells, kidney cells, leukocytes and erythrocytes. For the concentration of enzyme experiment, the hypothesis was if the concentration of an enzyme increases, then the enzyme activity will increase as well. The hypothesis was proven to be true, because there are more enzymes to react with substrates. For the enzyme—factors affecting, the hypothesis concluded was if the temperature increases, than the enzyme activity will increase. This however was proven wrong, because enzymes become unstable at higher temperatures.

Hypothesis If greater and higher concentrations of cobalt chloride are added to each solution then greater amounts of light would be absorbed by each solution. Thus a liner relationship will result in which the absorbance of a substance would be proportional to its concentration, which will be depicted, in a linear graph.

Introduction Buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH when bases or acid are added. Solutions that are acidic contain high concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and have pH values less than seven. Buffer usually consist of a weak acid, and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The function of buffer is to resist the changes in hydrogen ion concentration as a result of internal and environmental factor. This buffer experiment is important so that we relies the important of buffer in our life.
