I know it just slows down the process, but I need to know exactly how so I can do this experiment for a science project. We're trying to see what we can use besides lemon juice.

Enzymes are very sensitive to their environment. The acidic environment denatures the enzyme (causes the enzyme to change its shape by destroying some vital chemical bonds that constrain it into the proper shape) Most enzymes are like the toys toddlers play with to learn their shapes. The square only fits the square opening--the same principle applies here. Once an enzyme loses its shape it loses its function.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask. It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.\nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice. Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions. Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

How about making your own sherbert using citric acid (available in chemists) and icing sugar? \n\nOr you can use those mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks/skewers to construct  something that can bear a load (a paper cup of water or a egg work well but make sure you put newspaper down first!)\n\nHow about dropping sultanas in a glass of lemonade? They'll sink at first, then rise, then sink again etc - can they explain why?\n\nOr use jelly beans and have a blind taste testing and see if they can catch their friends out.\n\nOr just a blind taste test with different things to show how we can tell sweet, salty, sour etc. Just make sure you know about any allergies/religious requirements first.\n\nAny help? These experiments all went down well with our Brownies (Girl Scouts)!

You need to extract the sugar from the solution.\n\nExtract it by using a solvent where sugar dissolves but the salt won't.  If the sugar dissolves more in your other solvent, the extraction will be faster.  You might try isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol or IPA) as the solvent.\n\nStep by step:\n\nGet an separation funnel of the right size.\n\nPour in your solution.\n\nPour in the IPA.  Confirm which layer is the aqueous (bottom) and which is the organic layer.)\n\nMix the two layers by gently shaking and swirling.\n\nSeparate the two layers, by decanting the top layer (fastest).\n\nRepeat w/ fresh IPA.\n\nIf you want the sugar, then boil off or rotovaporate your IPA.\n\nYou'll have to check or determine the solubility of sugar in IPA (can't find it in my CRC Handbook, but I don't have alot of time).

ok--i'm not completely sure about this--but i can at least try-- *cough cough*unlike some people*cough*cough*catweazle*\n\nwe did this type of stuff last year.  but i think that you might want to use the ideal gas law?? we always called it pervnert... PV=nRT... does this sound familiar?    \n\nif not, i suggest asking your teacher, or some other knowledgable chemistry person.\n\ni hope this helps!

I THINK ROSEMARY. MAYBE A HINT OF LEMON JUICE. JUST PLAY AROUND W/ THE HERBS. YOU CAN'T REALLY GO WRONG. GOOD LUCK. IT'LL TURN OUT GREAT.

The question is too open. What experiment are you talking about? If you google science supplies you might find out, although since it's homework most people won't just give you an answer.

A fast way would be to put it in very warm (hot) water. \nThe fastest way would be to crush it and put it in very warm (hot)water.\n\nThe slowest way would be putting it whole in nearly freezing water.\n\nGet an "A".

try the old fashion baking soda and vineger trick! they have a chemical reaction and foam up. thats what i did back in middle school.

bite into a lemon or into a slice of lemon. this is an old bartender's cure and it works really well.

I assume this is based on the principle of Osmosis. I would like a bit more data before answering further.

Put it in hot water.\n\nTo slow the process put it in ice cold water.

go to      www.braingle .com    click on the science link. \nthere is a couple of good one's. (ex) put rubbing alocohol on paper(better than 50%). burn. the paper will not burn due to different burning points.

I have had this problem for years Have tried every cure possible that I've ever heard of! My best was holding breath.. second best was a spoon of dry sugar. But the BEST has been biting into a fresh half lemon and swallowing the juice. \nI've tried the lemon trick 3x so far and it has worked immediately and instantly. I used it tonight, and looked for someone about this subject to pass my info on. You only need to do one bite, but I bit it 3x just in case. If you hate raw lemon.. then think which you'll hate more...lemon for a second or just suffering for however long. Best of luck and if it works for you.. pass it on!

Milk of Magnesia and Prune Juice.  You may need to repeat a couple of times.

Try some tea with lemon

Distill the water. The WATER comes out of the tubes, not the salt.\n    As for testing, just drink a little of it. Do you *LIKE* it?\nNo? Well you better make sure that you don't put it back in the same cup you used for collection.\nOK the water will still pass an electric current through it if it has any impurities. Completely pure water will not.\nUnless you use more than around one volt, in which case the bubbles you see escaping will be hydrogen and oxygen. That means you've gone too far with the testing part.
