most effective‚ this aim will be carried out as an iodine clock reaction. The goal of this aim is to find out what catalyst is best to make this reaction occur at the fastest rate. 3. Determine the effects of the presence of ethanol on the rate equation. It is known that ethanol effects hydrogen peroxide and therefore it has an effect on the rate equation. This aim will find out the effect of ethanol by carrying out the iodine clock reaction with and without ethanol present and the results

Rabi‚ a physics professor at Columbia University‚ suggests a clock could be made from a technique he developed in the 1930’s called atomic beam magnetic resonance. 1949 Using Rabi’s technique‚ NIST (then the National Bureau of Standards) announces the world’s first atomic clock using the ammonia molecule as the source of vibrations. 1952 NIST announces the first atomic clock using cesium atoms as the vibration source. This clock is named NBS-1. 1954 NBS-1 is moved to NIST’s new laboratories

DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS THAT CONCENTRATION AND TEMPERATURE HAVE ON THE RATE OF REACTION Aim To study the effect that temperature and concentration of iodide ion solution have on the rate of iodide ion I⁻ oxidation by peroxodisulphate ion S₂O₈⁻‚ creating an iodine clock reaction. Introduction I decided to choose as the topic for my investigation the rate of reaction for its vital importance in the human body. Indeed I am really interested in Biology and especially physiology and I would like to study
