Of The Rate Of Reaction Of Peroxydisulfate Ion With Iodide Ion

Decent Essays

The objective of this experiment is to be able to measure the rate of reaction of peroxydisulfate ion with iodide ion. Students will be allowed to calculate the reaction order, partial order and rate constant of four different reaction solution. Furthermore, observe and record the time when the color changes when KI solution (potassium iodide), starch solution, Na2S2O3 solution (sodium thoisulfate), KNO3 solution (Potassium nitrate) and EDTA solution is mixed in an Erlenmeyer flask. Measuring a reaction rate is not only significant to this experiment or chemistry but also in real life. For example, according to Roughton, F. J., & Forster, R. E. (1957), before an individual is diagnosed with difficulties breathing due to the low capacity of …show more content…

Each reaction would be carried out by mixing five different solutions four times separately and each reaction is consisted of KI solution, starch solution, Na2S2O3 solution, KNO3 solution and EDTA solution. The concentration of each solution varies because the first reaction include 25.0ml KI solution, 1.0ml starch solution, 1.0ml Na2S2O3 solution, 48.0ml KNO3, 1 drop EDTA solution and the total volume eqaul 75.0ml. The second reaction include 25.0 mL KI solution 1.0 mL starch solution 1.0 mL Na2S2O3 solution 23.0 mL KNO3 solution 1 drop EDTA solution and total volume equal 50.0ml. The third reaction include 50.0 mL KI solution 1.0 mL starch solution 1.0 mL Na2S2O3 solution 23.0 mL KNO3 solution 1 drop EDTA solution and the total volume equal 75.0 mL and the fouth reaction include 12.5 mL KI solution 1.0 mL starch solution 1.0 mL Na2S2O3 solution 35.5 mL KNO3 solution 1 drop EDTA solution and total volume equal 50.0ml. After obtaining all of the solutions and seven different test tubes of 1.0ml Na2S2O3 solution which should be pour into the Erlenmeyer flask whenever the color of the solution changes. To calculate the reaction rate of each reaction the timer should start immediately when all of the solutions are mixed. Once all of the solutions have been mixed the students should observe as well as record the time of the reaction when the color change to dark blue and one of
