Chemistry: Kinetics of the Iodine Clock Reaction

Research Question: What will the effect of a change in temperature have on the rate of reaction of hydrogen peroxide with iodide and hydrogen ions.

Independent Variable: Changing the Temperature of the reaction.
Dependent Variable: The rate of reaction.
Control: The concentration of the reactants.

Hypothesis: An increase in temperature will increase the rate of reaction. “For many reactions happening at around room temperature, the rate of reaction doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature.” (chemguide.co.uk) We should see a faster reaction time take place every time our temperature is raised.

Procedure: For the hypothesis to be proven or disproven, the lab would have to be repeated several times. To start out, make four water baths: one at 5°C, one at 10°C, one at 15°C and one at 20°C. This will prove whether an increase in 10C actually doubles the rate of reaction or if a smaller increase in temperature would have the same effect. Achieve this by using a kettle for hot water and ice to cool water down. Keep a thermometer in each water bath to keep the temperature constant for the duration of the reaction. Next, place a test tube containing a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and iodine ions into the water bath without allowing water to enter. Using a stopwatch, time the reaction process and record observations. Repeat for each temperature.

Temperature (°C) | 5°C | 10°C | 15°C | 20°C | Time for Reaction

Organisms Chemical Reactions CLICK link below to hear a Science Course Mentor provide an overview to this section, “Chemical Reactions”: http://wgu.connectpro.acrobat.com/p22134881/ Use Chapter 13 and Chapter 15, in Conceptual Integrated Science, to address the below items in your notes: 1. What happens during a chemical reaction? One or more new compounds are formed as a result of the rearagment of atoms. 2. Why is the law of conservation of energy important in chemical reactions? Matter is…

Chemical Reaction Lab

this experiment we looked at how heat increases the rate of most chemical reactions. During reactions, faster molecular motion caused by heat increases the probability that molecules will contact substrate. However, higher temperatures could alter the conformation of an enzyme and in turn, do not always accelerate reactions. Reactions have an optimal range of temperatures so temperatures above or below this range decrease the reaction rate. So for the first step of the experiment, pour 20 ml of starch…

Chemical Reaction Essay

jTask 3 - D4 Within my report I was aiming to look and the rate of reaction and how it increases while the temperature increases. This experiment was completed and through out the experiment the temperature increases and decreases because the hydrochloric acid and the sodium thiosulfate. The aim of this experiment was to time how long it would take for chemical solution to be able to turn translucent. When the temperature of the chemicals increase, then the atoms would rapidly produce kinetic energy…

Pennies Chemical Reaction

If you put water on the pennies you are using with water, the chemical reaction between distilled white vinegar and the pennies stops. The distilled white vinegar that is left on the dry pennies advances the chemical reaction between the copper oxide and the oxygen in the air. The makes the pennies turn a kind of turquoise color copper oxide (verdigris). This is found on the copper (basically the same relationship as tarnish on silver). This also occurs naturally and it can make minerals such as…

A Chemical Reaction Lab

Percent Yield in a Chemical Reaction In this lab, the purpose was to find the theoretical yield of sodium chloride produced by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate. Based off of our results, we had to find our percent yield of sodium chloride. First, the mass of a clean, dry evaporating dish and watch glass was taken, with the watch glass underneath the evaporating dish. Next, two grams of sodium hydrogen carbonate were added, and the mass of that was taken. Then, 10…

Essay Chemical Reactions and Equations

Chemical Reactions and Equations Purpose The “Chemical Reactions and Equations” lab was to observe physical and chemical properties associated with chemical reactions, to make note of/document the evidence of the chemical reaction, to practice balancing equations, to predict the products that form from a reaction, and to have an understanding; did the elements bond, break apart, or did they switch partners in the reaction (determine what happened to the reactant/s as they formed new product/s)…

Chemical Reaction Lab Report

Discussion: The chemical reaction that happened in the experiment is, it amylase breaks down the enzymes in the saliva. The Benedict's test, is the test to figure out whether the glucose was in our substance.The IKI was used to test whether starch was in the substance. The chemical reaction that happened in the lab, was the color changes of the solution. If the result is negative, that means there is no solution involved. The starch was broken down into glucose by the saliva amylase which known…

Science-Chemical Reaction Essay

The purpose of the lab was to find evidence that a chemical reaction had been formed by mixing different chemicals. Signs of a chemical reaction are gases being produced, color change, precipitates formed, or temperature change. Materials used were varieties of liquids, solids and lab equipment. The procedures included observing the solids or liquids before mixing or heating them, how much of each substance should be used, rinse the test tubes after each observation, and finally clean the lab stations…

Stoichiometry and Chemical Reaction Essay

In general, chemical reactions combine in definite ratios of chemicals. Since chemical reactions can neither create nor destroy matter, nor transmute one element into another, the amount of each element must ++be the same throughout the overall reaction. For example, the number of atoms of a given element X on the reactant side must equal the number of atoms of that element on the product side, whether or not all of those atoms are actually involved in a reaction. Chemical reactions, as macroscopic…
