AIM:
The experiment is to investigate the effect of the change in the concentration of Hydrogen peroxide and sodium thiosulphate on the rate of reaction between potassium iodide (KI), hydrogen peroxide, Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O4) under acidic condition.

Introduction:
The rate of reaction can be defined as the rate at which the reactants are consumed of the rate at which product is formed.
It is the ratio of the concertation of reactant used of concentration product to time, it measured in mol.dm-3.S-1.
This can be expressed as Rate of reaction = - (∆[reactant])/∆time = (∆[product])/∆time
This implies that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactant/product but inversely proportional to the …show more content…

THEORY OF THE EXPERIMENT
In this experiment change in the volume of reagents by diluting with water is used as change in the concentration and reciprocal of the time taken for the appearance of blue black colour as the reaction rate.

Equation of reaction
H2O2 (aq) + 2H+ (aq) +2I- (aq) I2 + 2H2O

Hypothesis
Hypothesis 1: Decrease in concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decreases the rate of reaction (that is, increases the time for reaction to come to completion). In the reaction between potassium iodide (KI), hydrogen peroxide, Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O4) under acidic condition.

Hypothesis 2: Decrease in the concentration of potassium iodide decreases the rate of reaction (that is increases the time for the reaction to come to completion). In the reaction between potassium iodide (KI), hydrogen peroxide, sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) under acidic condition.

Graph

Discussion:
From the table and graph above it was observed that decrease in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide increased the time for the blue black colouration to appear, which gave rise to decrease in the rate of the reaction. The volume of distilled water added as shown in the table was to reduce the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide.
The same trend was observed in the dilution of potassium Iodide.
In the graph the volume of hydrogen peroxide was used as the concentration since concentration is proportional to volume.
Conclusion
It was clearly observed that the decrease in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide lead to increase in the reaction time and also decrease in the rate of the reaction. Also the decrease on the concentration decreases the rate of the reaction. The two graphs were straight line graphs with positive slopes.
So effective collision for a chemical reaction depends directly on the concentration of the reagent, that is, the crowdedness of the reacting molecules which increases reaction time and vice versa.

The objective of this lab was to determine the best pH level to increase enzyme activity. As this objective was met, it was discovered that water (pH level 7) was the best for percent absorbance. The hypothesis for this experiment was, “If peroxidase is an enzyme and therefore contains certain pH tolerances, then when placed in solution with pH levels of three, seven, and ten and the reaction is measured by a colorimeter, then water will be the optimal solution for maximum reaction rate.” As seen in the tables and graphs, the data supported the hypothesis due to the fact that most enzymes have an optimal pH of 4-9.

That mixture was then filtered through a coffee filter. Nine test tubes were prepared in order to perform this dye coupled reaction. One contained 5.0ml of the potato and pH buffer mixture, 2.0 ml of hydrogen peroxide, and 1.0 of guaiacol to serve as a blank for the spectrophotometer. Four test tubes were filled with 2.0 ml of hydrogen peroxide and 1.0 ml of guaiacol, used for measurement by the spectrophotometer, each. The last four were filled with 4.0 ml of the potato and pH buffer mixture and 1.0 ml of peroxidase.

These color changes indicate a chemical change, which show that a reaction had occurred. In the first step when o-vanillin and p-toludine, imine was formed. The color change from green to orange suggests that imine appears as orange colored. In the second step, the addition of sodium borohydride reduced the imine into another derivative, which was yellowish lime color. The solution turned clear when acids and anhydrides was added, which indicated the precipitate were dissolved.

Stoichiometry is “the process by which quantities in a chemical reaction are compared” and is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass (1). The Law of Conservation of Matter “dictates that the mass of the reactants and mass of the products must be equal” (1).

ABSTRACT To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. In this experiment we examined how increasing the volume of the extract added to the reaction would affect the rate of the reaction. The enzyme used was horseradish peroxidase which helps catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Using different pH levels, the absorbance rate of the reaction was measured to see at which condition the enzyme worked best. The rates of absorption were calculated using a spectrophotometer in 20 second intervals up to 120 seconds.

Title: Enzymes Abstract: Enzymes can catalyze chemical reactions by speeding up the chemicals activation energy. Temperature and pH are just two of the factors that affects enzymes and their involvement with chemicals and the way they function. Throughout this experiment, we conducted a study on peroxidase, which is an enzyme. The following information consist of the recordings of when it was exposed to four different pH levels to come up with an optimum pH and IRV at the end. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that are used in reactions in living organisms.

We use peroxidase as our enzyme in the experiment. Peroxidase is found in plants, such as turnip, and can convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. We had which were hydrogen peroxide (3%) and hydroxylamine. The hydrogen peroxide competes with the hydroxylamine for the active site molecules from peroxidase. The peroxidase needs the hydrogen peroxide in order to separate it into water and oxygen.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of varying the concentration of peroxidase on rate of reaction, as well as, the varying temperature and pH levels. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions that work by reducing the activation energy for each reaction, causing an increase to the rate of the reaction. One class of enzymes are known as peroxidase. Peroxidase catalyze the oxidation of a particular substrate by hydrogen peroxide. Meaning that it eliminates H2O2 in order to prevent damage to the cells and tissues (Department of Biology University of Tampa 74).

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
