What would happen to our cells if they made a poisonous chemical? You might think that they would die. In fact, our cells are always making poisonous chemicals. They do not die because our cells use enzymes to break down these poisonous chemicals into harmless substances. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reactions that would otherwise happen more slowly. The enzyme is not altered by the reaction. You have hundreds of different enzymes in each of your cells. Each of these enzymes is responsible for one particular reaction that occurs in the cell. In this lab, I am studying an enzyme that is found in the cells of many living tissues. The name of the enzyme is catalase; it speeds up a reaction, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical, into two harmless substances--water and oxygen. The reaction is as follows: 2H2O2 ----> 2H2O + O2 therefore there are enzymes in liver too
What else can I help you with?
How do you prepare 3 percent solution of hydrogen peroxide?
1 part of hydrogen peroxide out of 30% hydrogenperoxide bottle add 10 parts of distilled water
Experiment catalase enzyme in test tube with sand and H2O2?
sand is not a biological tissue but if you add catalase and hydrogen peroxide together, oxygen and water will be formed. This is a process happening in every organ in every organism (especially in the liver) to break down toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide to less reactive substances: oxygen and water.
How do you dilute 20 volume hydrogen peroxide to make a 3 percent solution?
To dilute 20 volume hydrogen peroxide to make a 3% solution, mix 1 part of 20 volume hydrogen peroxide with about 6 parts water. This will result in a 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Remember to handle hydrogen peroxide carefully and wear appropriate protective gear.
How do you prepare 3 percent of hydrogen peroxide from 30 percent of hydrogen peroxide?
To prepare 3% hydrogen peroxide from 30% hydrogen peroxide, you need to dilute the 30% solution with water. The formula to calculate the dilution is C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 is the initial concentration (30%), V1 is the volume of the initial solution, C2 is the final concentration (3%), and V2 is the final volume of the solution you want to prepare. By plugging in the values, you can determine the volume of 30% hydrogen peroxide needed and the volume of water needed to achieve a 3% solution.
How many atoms and elements are in hydrogen peroxide?
The answer to this question can vary slightly, because of the existence of isotopes. Considering only the most common isotope of each element bonded, hydrogen has one proton and one electron per atom, with no neutrons, while oxygen has eight of all three kinds of nucleon per atom. Therefore, the total for hydrogen peroxide, which contains two atoms of each element, is 18 protons, 18 electrons, and 16 neutrons.
When you add catalase to hydrogen peroxide what happens?
Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. This reaction helps to break down harmful hydrogen peroxide into harmless water and oxygen.
What happens if you add another atom of oxygen to a molecule of water?
H2O2 is the hydrogen peroxide.
How much hydrogen peroxide should I use for laundry?
When using hydrogen peroxide for laundry, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide to your laundry load to help whiten and brighten clothes.
How do you prepare 3 percent solution of hydrogen peroxide?
1 part of hydrogen peroxide out of 30% hydrogenperoxide bottle add 10 parts of distilled water
How do you change water into hydrogen peroxide?
Water cannot be directly transformed into hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is typically produced through a controlled chemical reaction involving hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst. This reaction can be carried out industrially or in a laboratory setting.
Experiment catalase enzyme in test tube with sand and H2O2?
sand is not a biological tissue but if you add catalase and hydrogen peroxide together, oxygen and water will be formed. This is a process happening in every organ in every organism (especially in the liver) to break down toxic substances like hydrogen peroxide to less reactive substances: oxygen and water.
What happens when you add NAOH to Hydrogen?
Nothing.
What is the recipe for making elephant toothpaste?
To make elephant toothpaste, you will need hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, and yeast. Mix the hydrogen peroxide and dish soap together, add food coloring for color, then add yeast to create a foamy reaction. Be cautious as the reaction can be vigorous.
How do you dilute 20 volume hydrogen peroxide to make a 3 percent solution?
To dilute 20 volume hydrogen peroxide to make a 3% solution, mix 1 part of 20 volume hydrogen peroxide with about 6 parts water. This will result in a 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Remember to handle hydrogen peroxide carefully and wear appropriate protective gear.
Can you add hydrogen peroxide to mouthwash with alcohol?
It is not recommended to mix hydrogen peroxide with mouthwash containing alcohol, as it can potentially be irritating and toxic if ingested accidentally. It is best to use these products separately and follow the instructions on each one for safe and effective use.
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide powdered yeast and dishwashing liquid?
When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with yeast, a reaction occurs that releases oxygen gas. Adding dishwashing liquid can help trap the oxygen gas in bubbles, creating a foamy reaction. This is often used in classroom demonstrations to show how yeast can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What happens if you mix hydrogen with oxygen and nitrogen and add heat?
BOOM.
