Innovating Science™ AP Chemistry Kits: Reaction Kinetics

Description

Includes

Materials for 15 groups: 100mL Potassium Iodide, 0.1% solution 0.006M (2); 100mL Sodium Thiosulfate, 0.001M solution (2); 100mL Hydrogen Peroxide, 3% solution 0.88M (2); 5 capsules Starch Soluble (5 caps per bottle); 100mL Hydrochloric Acid, 0.1M solution UN1789 (2); 150 pipets; teacher's guide; and student copy masters

In this experiment, the time it takes for a reaction to occur is monitored by observing a color change.

By varying concentration of reactants, the rate law is determined. By varying the temperature, the activation energy is determined. The data should be graphed and analyzed during the lab so additional measurements can be made if necessary.
In a chemical reaction, reactants are converted to product at a given rate. This rate can be changed by alternating either the temperature of the reaction, the form of the reactants, the concentration of reactants or products, or by adding a catalyst.
