When metals react with acids, a salt of the metal and hydrogen gas are formed. We can investigate the reactivity of different metals by placing samples in acid and comparing the results.
The structure of the trifunctional clavaminic acid synthase exhibits ... that provides the metal active site the flexibility to catalyze a remarkable range of reactions. Figure 1: Active site ...
Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. Small pieces of solid calcium metal are placed in two different concentrations of two different acids (hydrochloric acid and nitric acid). The calcium ...
