Iodine Clock Reaction Report

Improved Essays
Iodine clock reactions also known as Landolt Clock Reactions are one of many types of reactions in Chemistry. Clock reactions are an appealing way to show different type of chemicals having a reaction towards each other. This type of chemical reaction shows the demonstration of chemical kinetics. Iodine clock reactions were discovered by Swiss chemist Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. The procedure of conducting an iodine clock reaction consist of two colourless chemicals being mixed together. After a short period of time the two colourless chemicals will react with each other causing there to be a colour change in the solution, knows as a clock reaction, considering that over time the chemicals will react. The usual colour of the change that …show more content…
Reaction rates show the effect that the different chemicals have on each other whether they are highly reactive together, if so the reaction rate would be higher and faster. On the other hand if the chemical reaction has a slow rate of reaction the chemicals don’t have a very large effect on each other, therefore causing the rate of reaction to be slower. Reaction rate also known as the speed or reaction is defined for a product or reactant of how fast or slow the reaction takes place. For example the rusting of a metal could take years to complete, therefore having a slow rate of reaction. However, the burning of wood is almost instant therefore having a fast rate of reaction.

Concentration plays another part in the reaction in the iodine clock reaction experiments. Concentration is known as the amount of substance per defined space of the chemical. g/cm3 or kg/l The most important concentration to take into consideration when working with an iodine clock reaction is molarity (molar concentration). Molarity is the measure of concentration of a solute in a solution. Solute is a small component of a chemical reaction or any chemical procedure that is used to react with another

    To begin Lab 10 of Chem 115, students received permission to start the lab procedure after completion of prelab. First, students made a 25.0 mL of a 0.15 M Malonic Acid and 0.20 M Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate solution and labeled it "Solution 1". After the solution was made, a piece of parafilm was used to seal the flask before mixing it well. Next, a 25.0 mL of a 0.20 M Potassium Iodate solution, using 0.080 M sulfuric acid as a solvent, was made. Before adding the acid, students heated about 25 mL of the acid in a 100 mL volumetric flask.…

    In this lab, we carried out a variety of reactions using different chemicals and metals. A chemical reaction is when the chemical state of the substance you are testing rearranges its ionic and molecular structure. One of the reactions we experienced was single replacement, this consists of one ion switching places with another ion to form a new compound. Another reaction we saw was double replacement. In this reaction, two compounds ions are switched to form two new compounds.…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    In a chemical equation, there are the reactants, which is the part that is changed, and the products, which is what is left over. The reactant side and the product side must have the same quantity of each element. If they do not, the equation must be balanced by using coefficients. Mole ratios can be found by using these coefficients. Mole ratios are conversion factors and can be used to found the amounts of the reactants and the products in a chemical reaction.…

    Effect of Surface area: If there is a greater surface area of a reactant there is a bigger chance of a collision occurring between the particles. If one of the reactants is a solid then breaking it up into smaller pieces will increase the surface area. This means the particles around it in the solution will have more to work to do so there will be more useful collisions. Effect of Concentration: Increasing the concentration means you are adding more particles to a solution which also increases the reaction time.…

    The purpose of this step is to remove any water that adheres to the compound that would lead to an inaccurate mass. A known mass of about 0.12xx grams of KIO3 is then weighed and dissolved with water in an Erlenmeyer flask. Excess KI and HCl was added to react with KIO3 to form I2 in the following equation: KIO3 + KI + HCl  KCl + I2 + H2O. Since KI and HCl is added in excess, the reaction will be forced to the right due to Le Chatalier Principle. It is important for the titration process to be carried immediately after HCl is added since iodide oxidizes readily in the presence of oxygen in air due to an acidic environment. The resulting I2 is then titrated with the thiosulfate standard.…
