Kinetics and Pseudo-Order Conditions As you have seen in class and in your textbook (Silberberg sections 14-2 & 14.3), the rate of reaction can be related to the reactant concentrations through an expression called the rate law for a particular reaction. For the iodine clock reaction studied in this experiment the general form of the rate is: Rate = k[H*]*[1] [H₂O₂)² Where: kis the rate constant for the reaction (temperature dependent) x is the order with respect to H* y is the order with respect to iodide z is the order with respect to hydrogen peroxide We assume that x, y, and z are whole numbers (most commonly 0, 1, or 2). In this experiment you will determine the values for k, y and z. Solving a system with four unknown variables is possible but is much easier if the experiments are designed so that only one variable changes at a time. Since k is already a constant value, we will control the reactant concentrations in order to manipulate the variables in the equation. You will approximate a constant [H*] by using a large excess of this reagent. Since the [H*] is so much larger than the [1] and the [H₂O₂] it remains effectively constant, while the relative changes in [1] and the [H₂O₂] are very large. If we make the (reasonable) assumption that [H*] is constant under the conditions described above, we can rewrite Equation [4] as: Run-1 Run-2 Run-3 Run-4 k' Where: k' = k[H*]* The constant k' is a pseudo-order constant - it behaves and can be treated as if it were a rate constant for a reaction of orders of y and z, but it is not a true rate constant because its value depends on the concentration of a reactant (in this case, [H*]).
