Investigating the Kinetics of the reaction between Iodide ions and Peroxodisulphate (VI) ions
By the use of an Iodine clock reaction I hope to obtain the length of time taken for Iodine ions (in potassium iodide) to react fully with Peroxodisulphate ions (in potassium Peroxodisulphate). I will do three sets of experiments changing first the concentration of iodide ions, then the concentration of Peroxodisulphate ions and finally the temperature of the solution in which the reaction is taking place. From these results, I hope to draw conclusions as to the effects of these changes to the environment of the reaction on the rate and also determine the order of the reaction and the activation enthalpy.

In terms of log to the base 10 this is:
log k = log A Ea/ 2.303 RT
Reaction between Iodine ions and peroxodisulphate ions
S2O82-(aq) + 2I-(aq)  2SO42-(aq) + I2(aq)
In order to make the reaction clearer, during my experiment I will add starch and a small known amount of sodium thiosulphate (to act as a queching agent). The thiosulphate ions turn iodine back to iodine ions:
2S2O32-(aq) + I2(aq)  S4O62-(aq) + 2I-(aq)
Which means that no starch-iodine colour will appear until all the thiosulphate has been used up. The amount of time taken for this occur (and the reaction to suddenly turn blue) is the same amount of time for the reaction to produce the equvilant amount of Iodine.

Investigations into the mechanics of chemical kinetics can reveal invaluable information relating to the rates of reaction. There are numerable applications of reaction rates, knowledge in this area is pivotal for industrial, commercial and research sectors. Thus, allowing them the ability to manipulate a variety of factors of chemical reactions with the use of reaction rates. In the scope of the kinetics of clock reactions, there is a range of information that can be obtained about reaction rates (Shakhashiri, 1992).
The triiodide ions formed then react with thiosulfate ions (Na₂S₂O₃) that are present in the solution. The reaction with thiosulfate turns the triiodide back into iodide ions as soon as they are formed, therefore, keeping the
How concentration affects the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Thiosulphate Chemistry Coursework How Concentration Affects a Reaction Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how concentration affects the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Thiosulphate. Introduction: This experiment will be carried out by drawing a cross on a piece of paper and mixing hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate together to see if the cross disappears. The concentration of hydrochloric acid would change every reaction to show that concentration effects a reaction.
It was necessary to add Sodium thiosulfate at the end of the reaction, because Sodium thiosulfate remove any excess Iodine ions in that it reduces the ions to Sodium Iodide and stops the reaction, to prevent any more electrophilic substitution.
The rate of a chemical reaction often depends on reactant concentrations, temperature, and if there’s presence of a catalyst. The rate of reaction for this experiment can be determined by analyzing the amount of iodine (I2) formed. Two chemical reactions are useful to determining
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to understand the kinetics of the hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride.The kinetic order of reaction was studied under the effects of variations in temperature, solvent polarity, and structure. It is particularly observed in tertiarhalides i.e. in SN1mechanism, Nucleophilic Substitution which is in 1storder. It is basically a reaction that involves substitution by a solvent that pretendslikea nucleophile i.e. it donates electrons. The reaction being in firstorder means
Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects, organic and inorganic, naturally experience isotonic reactions.
Therefore Iodine can be utilized to detect the presence of starch since the reaction of I2+ I- gives us I3 - . What this means is that any substance that becomes blue/black after iodine has been added to it proves that the substance has starch in it. Interestingly enough, when Iodine is added either to white rice or sweet potatoes, these two foods turn to the blue black color that confirms the presence of starch. However, If I add iodine to a banana, it only turns yellow which confirms that the banana does not contain iodine.
Procedure: First, approximately 120 mL of aqueous iodine and 75 mL of sodium thiosulfate was obtained. A buret was rinsed with several 2-3 mL portions of sodium thiosulfate solution and then the buret was filled with the solution. Next, 10.0 mL of iodine solution was measured in a graduated cylinder and transferred to a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. A graduated cylinder
These equations can only be carried out and be visible after the iodine has completely reacted with thiosulphate added – two moles of thiosulphate for every mole of iodine. Once all the thiosulphate has been used up in the reaction, the colour will start to appear.
The color reaction between iodine and glucose chains (dextrins and starch) is used to detect their presence in wort. Aside from producing a wort of desired fermentability it is the goal of mashing to reduce the maximum length of dextrins in the sweet wort to less than 9 glucose molecules for unbranched and less than 60 for branches chains. At this point they don't show a reaction with iodine anymore and the wort or mash is said to be iodine negative . If that is not done and these long glucose chains are carried over into the beer, the beer may develop a so called "starch haze". Despite its name in most cases this haze is not caused by starch but by long dextrines which become less soluble and precipitate in the presence of alcohol. Those dextrines
The contents of the beakers are mixed, and the reaction was timed until the solution turns blue.
4) Try and propose a mechanism for the reaction using the orders of reaction taking into account the iodine, propanone and sulphuric acid.
Two catalyst reactants are used in the experiment, thiosulfate and starch, to dictate the time of reactions.
The procedure was performed as follows: For run 1, 20cm3 of acetone, 10cm3 of sulphuric acid and 145cm3 of water was added to a conical flask. 25cm3 of iodine was then added to this solution which started the reaction and immediately, 20cm3
