Introduction
The term clock reaction is a chemical reaction that takes place over an extended period of time. A well-known clock reaction is the Landolt Iodine Clock Reaction where “two colourless solutions are mixed and nothing happens at the first moment. However, after a few seconds the solution suddenly changes its colour to dark blue.” (Chem-toddler.com, n.d.) Most reactions such as this come under the category of the Landolt Clock Reaction. There are several factors which affect the rate of a clock reaction such as temperature, concentration, particle size and catalysts. The reaction depends on the speed the chemicals collide with each other. “Collision theory states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the number of

For example, the oxidation of bisulphite by iodate is determined by the time taken for bisulphite to be consumed. The 1% starch solution acts as the indicator to change the solutions colour once all the bisulphite has been consumed. The equations reaction of the Landolt Clock Reaction using Iodate and Bisulphite: Reaction 1 IO3- + 3HSO3- I- + 3SO42- + 3H+. The reaction begins with iodate in excess and bisulphite ions as the limiting reagent, which react to form iodide, sulphate and hydrogen ions. This reaction is known as an oxidation-reduction (redox), because the oxidation states of oxygen change from the reactants to the products. Reaction 2 6H+ + IO3- + 8I- 3I3- + 3H2O this may occur during the reaction or once the bisulphate has been consumed. But there’s another reaction which takes place, Reaction 3 H2O + I3- + HSO3- 3I- + SO42- +3H+. Where the iodate ions react to form tri-iodide ions to iodide and the water and iodate form sulphate. Now the starch solution reacts with the Iodide to form the dark blue solution. Landolt Clock Reaction equations given on the site (Lyle,
Then, an amount of KI (solid) about a size that would fit on a match head was dissolved in 0.05 of Potassium Iodate solution and about 1 mL of water and 1 mL of 1 M HCl were added, which exhibited a weak positive test for IO_3^- (aq). After the weak positive test, an amount of KI (solid) about a size that would fit on a match head was dissolved in about 1 mL of water and 1 mL of 1 M HCl, which exhibited a negative
The rate law determines how the speed of a reaction occurs, thus allowing the study of the overall mechanism formation in reactions. In the general form of the rate law, it is A + B C or r=k[A]x[B]y. The rate of reaction can be affected by the concentrations such as A and B in the previous equation, order of reactions, and the rate constant with each species in an overall chemical reaction. As a result, the rate law must be determined experimentally. In general, in a multi-step reaction, there will be one reaction that is slower than the others.
The reason I believe this is that chemical reactions occur when particles of the reacting substances collide. Increasing the number of the particles increases the number of collisions per second and this increases the reaction rate. In the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate you can increase the number of particles in two ways. The first of these is to increase the surface area of the calcium carbonate.
will result in an increase in the speed of the rate of reaction it has
Chemical kinetics is a branch of chemistry that involves reaction rates and the steps that follow in. It tells you how fast a reaction can happen and the steps it takes to make complete the reaction (2). An application of chemical kinetics in everyday life is the mechanics of popcorn. The rate it pops depends on how much water is in a kernel. The more water it has the quicker the steam heats up and causes a reaction- the popping of the kernel (3). Catalysts, temperature, and concentration can cause variations in kinetics (4).
Abstract: This week we experimentally determined the rate constant k for the reaction 2HCl (aq) +Na2S2O3 (aq) → S (s) + SO2 (aq) + H2O (l) + 2NaCl (aq). In order to do this the average reaction time was recorded in seconds during two trials. The data from the experiment shows this reaction is in the first order overall: rate=.47s-1 [HCl]0 [Na2S2O3]1. These findings seem to be consistent with the expected results
In this lab, it was determined how the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is affected by physical factors such as enzyme concentration, temperature, and substrate concentration affect. The question of what factors influence enzyme activity can be answered by the results of peroxidase activity and its relation to temperature and whether or not hydroxylamine causes a reaction change with enzyme activity. An enzyme is a protein produced by a living organism that serves as a biological catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction and does so by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. With that energy reactants are brought together so that products can be formed.
However, in order to measure the rates of reaction, sodium thiosulphate and starch are added. Sodium thiosulphate is added to react with a certain amount of iodine as it is made. Without the thiosulphate, the solution would turn blue/black immediately, due to the iodine and starch. The thiosulphate ions allow the rate of reaction to be determined by delaying the reaction so that it is practical to measure the time it takes for the iodine to react with the thiosulphate. After the all the thiosulphate has reacted with the iodine, the free iodine displays a dark blue/black colour with the starch. If t is the time for the blue/black colour to appear, then 1/t is a measure of the initial rate.
Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid Investigation Chemical reactions are used in our everyday life, they literally keep us alive. They are used in food, respiration and everywhere else in the environment. A chemical reaction mainly occurs when reactants react together to produce a new product. The speed at which this reaction takes place is called the rate of reaction. The product produced has a number of particles in the solution that has formed from the reactants.
This is the first reaction in the Harcourt Essen experiment. The iodine is oxidised to produce I2 wh...
The main variables that can change a rate of reaction are; 1. Temperature. 2. Concentration. 3.
Investigating the Effects of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study and examination of chemical reactions regarding re-arrangement of atoms, reaction rates, effect of various variables, and more. Chemical reaction rates, are the rates of change in amounts or concentrations of either products or reactants. Concentration of solutions, surface area, catalysts, temperature and the nature of reactants are all factors that can influence the rate of reaction. Increasing the concentration of a solution allows the rate of reaction to increase because highly concentrated solutions have more molecules and as a result the molecules collide faster. Surface area also affects reaction rate because when the surface area of a reactant is increased, more particles are exposed to the other reactant.
One vital process in the human body observed in chemistry is the idea of chemical kinetics. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of reactions, or how fast reactions occur.1 Three factors that affect chemical kinetics are concentration, temperature, and catalysis. As the concentration of a substance increases, the rate of the reaction also increases.1 This relationship is valid because when more of a substance is added in a reaction, it increases the likelihood that the
* Surface Area - if one reactant has more surface area there is greater chance of a successful collision as there is more area for the reaction to occur on. * Catalysts - a catalyst is a chemical that speeds up a reaction without changing itself during the reaction. An example of this is an enzyme. In this investigation however I am only going to investigate how concentration affects rate of reaction as the other methods of increasing the rate of reaction are not easily controlled and I do not know of a catalyst that will speed up the reaction.
There are five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), pressure (in gases), surface area (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction. This is because it is the most practical way to investigate. Dealing with temperatures is a difficult task, especially when we have to keep constant high temperatures. Secondly, the rate equation and the constant k changes when the temperature of the reaction changes.
