the opening line‚ the speaker meditates on death and his mortality through the use of clock imagery. The speaker actively engages in counting; “I do count the clock”‚ which emphasises the process of time passing. In the early modern period‚ clocks served as a reminder of the brevity of earthly life‚ and were often inscribed with Latin mottos emphasising the passing of time in relation to death. This use of clock imagery throughout the Renaissance period signals a cultural preoccupation with time

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate equation for the “Iodine Clock Reaction” experiment. The experiment will consider the equations 〖2I〗^-+S_2 O_8→2〖〖SO〗_4〗^(2-)+I_2 and I_2+2〖S_2 O_3〗^(2-)→2I^-+S_4 O_6 in order to determine the rate law of Rate=k[〖〖S_2 O_8〗^(2-)]〗^a 〖[I^-]〗^b by using the experimental data to calculate the values of exponents a and b as well as the rate constant k. Experimental Supplies Needed: 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ 100 mL beaker‚ graduated
