Catalase is an enzyme found in many cells. It acts as a catalyst to break down hydrogen peroxide (a toxic chemical) to water and oxygen. If hydrogen peroxide is
added to a test tube containing chicken liver (which contains catalase), a chemical
reaction occurs, evidenced by production of bubbles. If the liver is heated no
reaction occurs. If vinegar is added to the liver, there is no reaction. Explain what
has happened based on what you know about enzymes.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
