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

An investigation on the activation energy for the iodine clock reaction Introduction: The iodine clock reaction is a presentation of chemical kinetics‚ which are the elements that affect the rate of chemical reactions. When the two colorless solutions are incorporated together‚ no reaction can be spotted. But after a short period of time‚ the solution turns into a dark blue solution. The term rate of reaction is stated as the decrease in the concentration of one of the reactions or the increase

which non-rational or magical phenomena play a significant part’ (Manlove‚ 1975‚ 1). Following this definition‚ The Cuckoo clock would be classified as a fantasy by several elements in the story. To begin with‚ the story is based on the classic idea of a child communicating with animals or objects. In this case‚ that object would be the wooden cuckoo coming out of the clock. This idea itself is quite a common subject matter for children’s literature. For example in Little Princess‚ the little girl
