Sodium Iodine Clock Reaction

Improved Essays
This report gives an information which is related to the reaction between acidified potassium iodide and hydrogen peroxide. Before calculating the rate of this reaction, the reaction will be carried out 3 times and values will be got. A special timer will be used to measure the time. It could be expected and argued that each time will be able differ from the others in each reaction and it can be explained by changing the quantity of hydrogen peroxide. At the final, it will be obviously observed that there will be some differences in the rate and in the time because of changing the amount of reactant. 0.1 M KJ,0.5 M H_2SO_4,0.01 M Na2 S2O3 , H2O2, starch and water were used to carry out the experiment. These compounds were filled to the four …show more content…
Swiss chemist Hans Heinrich Landolt have discovered this reaction in 1886. The main purpose of this reaction is that when the 2 drab solutions are blended the color of the reaction turns to dull cocoa or blue reliance on the starch. Although, there are a lot of types of iodine clock reaction, in this experiment it was used from hydrogen peroxide variation.

Theory
If the process is looked through, it can be observed that all the experiments are majorly based on several reactions. Firstly, reaction between hydrogen peroxide and acidified potassium iodide is the first stage reaction which is obtained from reaction between potassium iodide and sulphuric acid. 2KJ+H2SO4→2HJ+K2SO4
H2O2+2H++2J-→2H2O+J2
At the second stage, reaction between Na2S2O3 iodine. If little amount of Na2S2O3 is used then it cut down the iodine produce to iodine ions.

At the second experiment 10 cm3 of water was used instead of 12 cm3.Again the burettes was filled with the 0.1 M KJ, 0.5 M H_2SO_4, 0.01 M Na2 S2O3 and water and again experiment was carried out like at the first experiment.
0.1 M KJ 0.5 M H_2SO_4. 0.01 M Na2SO4 Water (H2O).

10 cm3 20 cm3 5 cm3 10 cm3

When all of these solutions were added into one tube 1 cm3 of starch. But this time 4 cm3 of H2O2 was used instead of 2 cm3 . This step was followed by starting the stop-clock and then shook for 5 second to attain homogenous solution. When the precipitation was seen, stop-clock illustrated 40 seconds. The third experiment was also the same not only first experiment but also second experiment but again there were some differences. So the third experiment was carried out with the help of changing amounts of the reagents. As the first and second experiments the same step was used for the third experiment so after filling each of three burettes with the 0.1 M KJ,0.5 M H_2SO_4,0.01 M Na2 S2O3 boiling tubes were cleaned and dried in order

    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 the nine unknown solutions experiment there was nine solutions that were labeled with just numbers from one to nine and all of these one to nine solutions were mixed together randomly to see what kind of reaction it would form. There were mostly no reactions being formed but the reactions that were soluble and insoluble formed different colors of precipitate. The main importance in finding the nine unknown solutions was to prevent any inaccuracies that might form when there is a chemical compound forming. This experiment was done to determine the identity of the nine unknown solutions like color (physical trait), and chemical characteristics.…

    As the temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases until it has reached the optimum temperature above 37°C where the temperature is very high then the reaction rate will decrease. In the data table shown above, there is a similar pattern from increasing the temperature will increase the rate of reaction and as the temperature slowly increases to a certain point then the reaction rate will decrease. When the temperature increase above 37°C, then denature will occur. Also, the temperature increase, the kinetic energy where H2O2 molecules bind frequently with the catalyst increase the enzymes. Conclusions: An enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction, the activation energy allows energy to require to break bonds apart and lower activation…

    The purpose of this lab is to determine the Ka of an indicator within an unknown solution. This can be determined because acid-base indicators are weak bases or acids, and when neutralized they change colors. The color change is measured by the light absorption spectra in the compound which can be used to calculate the concentration. This experiment measures the concentrations by the different pH values which allows the pKa and Ka to be determined. Through the experiment, and the recorded color change with the use of the Spec 20 the unknown Ka of the solution was found.…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

    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.…

    Discussion Graph 1 displays the reaction time (in minutes) of how long it took for the Alka-Seltzer tablet to completely dissolve per trial. Graph 2 displays the averages of the reaction time which showed the higher the water temperature is, the faster the reaction time would be. At 65⁰C the average time for the Alka-Seltzer to completely dissolve was 1 minute 4 seconds followed by 1 minute 20 seconds at 35⁰C and ending with the highest average at 2 minutes 1 second (1.61). The hypothesis stated that hot water temperature would make the Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolve the fastest.…
