Background Research
Chemical kinetics is the research of chemical processes which relates to the mechanisms and rates of chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). The mechanisms describe variations of each molecule during the chemical action such as which bond is broken, which bond together newly, and how the three-dimensional shape of the chemical changes (Sciencebuddies). The rate of the reaction is measuring the speed of the chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). Study of chemical kinetics would have a great impact on chemistry. It benefits on comprehension of chemical reaction processes (Kinetics of the Iodine Clock Reaction).
In general, the concentration of reactants and products varies

The amount of iodine in seawater is 0.06% mg/l, and the total amount of iodine in the sea is 93 billion tons, which is much more than the land reserves. The amount of iodine in seawater is mostly in the form of organic compounds of iodine such as amines and synthesis. There are many seaweed plants that can absorb iodine, such as the kelp, which is known as iodide and has a high concentration of iodine. The amount of iodine in dried seaweed is 0.3-0.5 percent, some as high as 1 percent, and about 100,000 times more than the concentration of iodine in seawater. The iodine content of kelp is very high, and the concentration of iodine in the cell is much higher than that in the extracellular environment. Therefore, example of the terrine formation inside and outside the cell cannot be explained by simple passive transport. The ability of cells to maintain constant ion cascade is due to the active transport of the cell with an inverse concentration gradient. Therefore, the transport process of the material adverse concentration gradient is called active transport. This process requires total energy. Active transport characteristics are followings: First, specificity kelp iodine intake quickly, but calcium transport speed is very slow, this is because it contains a certain transport carrier. Next, speed can reach saturation state kelp unlimited high iodine content, because transport carrier of iodine is limited, cannot continue to absorb iodine …show more content…

    Introduction In this experiment, we mixed different amounts of reactants and measured the volume of O2 they produced so that we could determine the rate and order of the reaction. Three trials were done, the first trial acted as a baseline, then the following two trials each varied the concentration of a single reactant, allowing us to calculate the order of the reaction. Additionally, the temperature of the solution was changed to see what effect that would have on the rate. Using this information the activation energy for this reaction could be calculated and compared to the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction.…

    Additionally, when collecting the times, it was difficult to get the smaller digits, such as milliseconds because of the speed of the stopwatch, which is another reason the times may be off. The amounts of reactants used may have varied slightly from the directions due to human error, which may have resulted in inaccurate results. These inaccuracies most likely resulted in the incorrect order of iodine. Experimentally, iodine was found to have a ½ order; however, its correct order is 0. This may have been do to incorrect times resulting in incorrect…

    In an oscillating chemical reaction as the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction, the composition of the mixture is complex as a result of some chemical species which exhibit periodic changes. Consequently, such a reaction has an intricate rate law which makes it difficult to determine experimentally. Due to this fact, the paper investigates if the mathematical model Lotka-Volterra including the classic and logistic versions can be used as a description of the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction. In this context, a thorough extermination of the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction, both theoretically, but also experimentally by determining the activation energy and achieving the absorption spectrum of iodine ( I_2), is given. Furthermore, the Lotka-Volterra system of equations…

    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.…
