Calculations & Questions

The effect of temperature is that it increases the rate of reaction, observed here by the higher temperatures giving a much faster reaction time a) Is reaction (2) fast or slow with respect to reaction (1)? Explain your reasoning or record any test you do to help reach your conclusion
Reaction (2) is fast with respect to reaction (1).

Reaction (2): I2+2 S2O32-→ 2 I-+ S4O62- occurs extremely fast, I2 formed in the reaction is consumed immediately and when the limiting agent S2O32- is used up, I2 reacts with the starch indicator to form a blue color solution.

b) Does reaction (1) or (2) control the time required for the blue colour to appear?
Reaction (1): 2I-+ S2O82-→I2+2SO42- controls the time required for the blue colour to
