Introduction:
My aim and my reaction:
I will be adding Potassium iodide, distilled water, Potassium peroxodisulphate (VI), Sodium thiosulphate (VI), starch and when varying the use of a catalyst I will also add Iron (III) sulphate. I will start a stop watch when I mix the appropriate concentrations of solutions together, When I react these solutions a slow reaction will occur, tri-iodide is formed and this then reacts with the sodium thiosulphate(VI) this will happen until all of the sodium thiosulphate has reacted with the tri-iodide that is produced. The further tri-iodide that is produced is reacts with the starch in the solution and this changes the solutions colour to a bluey-black and
