In glycolysis, why is MgATP used instead of just ATP for the hexokinase reaction? -Mg2 shields the negative charges of two of the phosphate oxygen atoms of ATP. -Mg2 makes the γ (terminal) phosphorus atom of ATP more accessible to nucleophilic attack by a glucose -OH group. The galactose derivative that enters the glycolytic pathway […]

Life for plants and animals in any medium is a constant struggle. Besides the physical environment, predators, parasites and other competitors that have to […]
Read moreThe world’s cultivated lands are limited and it is sad that only eight billion people can be sustained by the present ability of world food production. Nowadays food shortages in Less Developed Countries, especially African countries have deepened over the few decades and the United Nation has speculated that the world population will increase to […]
Read moreA preliminary study was carried out at Meadfoot beach, however, studies carried out at Dawlish Warren, the River Lemon and in the woodlands, enabled me to become familiar with skills I would need to carry out my investigation.At different sites, different sampling methods where learnt to enable me to chose the most suitable sampling method […]

Read moreWe investigated the diuretic effect of different beverages upon the kidneys considering ions of physiological importance, volume and specific gravity of the urine. Materials and method In order to standardise our results we consumed the same food and drink in same quantities on the day of the experiment. Just before drinking our assigned beverage we […]
Read moreOne of the more common reactions seen in chemistry is the acid/base reaction. The most common result of an acid/base reaction is the formation of water and a salt. Such a reaction can be highly useful in the analysis of an unknown acid or base. By titrating the unknown analyte with a standard reagent, several […]
Read moreIn the preparation of alum from scrap aluminium experiment various techniques and apparatus was used to obtain pure alum crystals. During the procedure various potential hazardous chemicals was used and care had to be taken at all times when handling it. Protective clothing and eyewear had to be worn during the whole experiment. Initially a […]
Read moreThe paper is an evaluation report on the partial molar volume, surface tension, and viscosity data of the cyclohexane-benzene binary system, a mixture of nonelectrolyte liquids.Based on many studies, the benzene-cyclohexane system is a well-established as a test system for excess molar volumes measurement devices. This excess molar volume is directly related with the partial […]
Read moreI have been told to write a short formal report explaining to the managing director of a chemical manufacturing company, the social costs, social benefits, private costs and private benefits of setting up a chemical plant on the outskirts of a small market town, and whether or not the company should set up there. The […]
Read moreAn organic crude product obtained from a ‘worked up’ reaction mixture will in almost all cases need to be purified further. The work-up, by which this procedure is usually known, simply refers to the isolation of the product from the reaction mixture, free from solvent and spent reagents, and does not imply any purification.In order […]

Read moreThe word and chemical equation which I have constructed for the experiment is:Calcium + hydrochloric calcium + water + carbonCarbonate acid chloride dioxide.CaCo3 + 2HCL CaCl2 + H2 O + CO2Reactant ProductI chose this reaction because it is easy to control as the production of carbon dioxide being produced can be monitored with ease. Additionally […]
Read moreChlorine chemistry is the building block for many products essential to our well being. Things that we take for granted every day — drinking water, modern medicine and housing, being just a few examples — all rely on chlorine products.Drinking Water and DisinfectionDrinking water chlorination has been called one of the most significant public health […]
Read moreIndigestion is a general term used to describe discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen or chest, which is sometimes experienced while our bodies digest the food we eat. A better and more scientific term for indigestion is dyspepsia. Indigestion is caused by too much acid in the stomach. Indigestion tablets contain bases, which neutralise […]
Read moreThe best way to determine the concentration of a solution is by a titration, and as limewater (Ca(OH)2(aq)) is a base an acid/base titration would be most useful:Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2H2O(l) + CaCl2(l)Precautions to take: working with chemicals, e.g. corrosive hydrochloric acid, means goggles should be worn as well as an apron to protect clothes […]
Read moreFor a seed to germinate there are specific conditions different seeds need. In this experiment, cress seeds are to be used. Going through the basics first though, for a seed to successfully germinate there needs to be:o An adequate supply of watero A suitable temperatureo An appropriate partial pressure of oxygeno A suitable supply of […]
Read moreEthanol is a primary alcohol and can be oxidised to produce either an aldhyde or a carboxylic acid. The purpose of this experiment is to oxidise ethanol and then test the product to determine whether it has been oxidised to ethanol or oxidised to ethanoic acid. Safety As with all experiments, it is essential to […]
Read morePlanning:* There are many ways in which to find out what ions are contained in different compounds. When substance is mixed to make solution, precipitation reactions and reactions with gas specifically are very useful to help us out with identifying which ions are contains in the substances. This test is for negative ions.* Ions can […]
Read moreThis investigation will examine one of the factors that affect the amount off copper deposited during the electrolysis of copper (II) sulphate solution. Electrolysis is the decomposition of an ionic solution by electricity. The electricity splits ionic chemical compounds into separate components, for example, copper chloride can be split into Cu metal and Cl gas. […]
