Exothermic Reaction
Exothermic Reaction, which gives off heat. This lab was to test the reaction
which speeds up reactions. For this project the enzyme catalase, which can
be found in most cells including chicken liver cells, was used. The subtrate
that was used was hydrogen peroxide. Prior to the experiment a control
group was tested for a control temperature and reaction rate was found. This
will help to compare results in the end. This experiment was conducted to
test what variables would affect the reaction time. For one experiment in
particular it was to see if low temperature conditions for the enzyme would
affect the reaction time. Due to previous reading about temperature affects
on this reaction, the hypothesis that was formed was; yes the reaction rate
will Change but it will become slower and less of a reaction, due to less
Materials:
Procedures:
Step 1: Gather test tube holder, 2 test tube, thermometer, and glass stir rod
at the station
Step 2: Measure out 4.5 grams of liver. Do this by placing a glass beaker on
an electric scale and set the scale to 0. Then place the liver into the beaker
to measure it.
Step 3: Place the already measured liver into the bottom of one of the test
tubes.
Step 6: Pour the hydrogen peroxide in the test tube containing the liver.
Step 7: Once stirred, immediately place the thermometer into the test tube.
Step 8: Watch and record the highest temperature that it gets to.
Step 9: Clean up
