DISCUSSION Considered as moderately weak oxidizing agent‚ Iodine was used for the determination of strong reductants. Standard iodine solutions were found to have smaller electrode potentials as compared with the other oxidants‚ gaining them the advantage of imparting a degree of selectivity essential in the determination of strong reducing agents amid the presence of weak agents. Although regular re-standardization was essential for Iodine solution due to its lack of stability‚ it was still suitable

A reagent that is particularly good for the oxidation is an aqueous solution of iodine‚ I2. The brown iodine solution can be reduced by vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to form colourless iodide ions. However‚ I2 solution is not normally prepared directly by dissolving iodine in water because iodine is too volatile so it is almost impossible to avoid loss while the solution is being prepared. Therefore iodine is prepared in situ by mixing pure potassium iodate (KIO3 ) and potassium iodide (KI)

But after mixing the enzyme amylase to the starch‚ the starches are broken down into simple sugars. Now‚ when the iodine is added‚ no color change exist. Instruments and materials used: 1.)

occurring in about 2% of women and only 0.2% of men (N4). If untreated‚ the effects of this disease can be very severe. There are several causes for hyperthyroidism‚ which may include Graves’ disease‚ thyroid nodules‚ thyroiditis‚ the intake of too much iodine‚ and the overmedication of synthetic thyroid hormone. The most common cause for hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disorder called Graves’ disease‚ sometimes referred to as toxic diffuse goiter. With this disorder‚ the immune system synthesizes an antibody

behind the Winkler method for DO analysis and (3) describe the sampling technique for the analysis of DO in water sample. In the Winkler method‚ or Iodometry‚ the dissolved oxygen is made to react with Iodide ion to yield Iodine which will be titrated afterwards with thiosulfate. Iodine is a moderately strong oxidizing agent making it useful for titrating strong reducing agents like dissolved oxygen. Iodide ion‚ on the other hand‚ is a weak reducing agent‚ and is the basis of determining the amount of

Introduction: In this lab you will observe the diffusion of a substance across a semi permeable membrane. Iodine is a known indicator for starch. An indicator is a substance that chances color in the presence of the substance it indicates. Watch as your teacher demonstrates how iodine changes in the presence of starch. **Prelab Observations: Describe what happened when iodine came into contact with starch. The cornstarch turned blue-black Procedure: 1. Fill a plastic baggie with

In this experiment‚ the amount of titrant dispensed correlates with the amount of copper; therefore‚ the amount of copper in brass was calculated by using the data recorded. In this experiment‚ the analyte is copper and the sample is brass. The concentration range of copper in brass is 50-95%. When copper reacts with iodide it forms a precipitate (CuI) along with iodine. As shown in this reaction: 2Cu2++ 4I- 2CuI(s) + I2. Iodine is formed

Before this experiment can begin starch solution must be added to the beverages. As iodine is added‚ it will first react with the ascorbic acid in the beverage‚ producing a colorless product (dehydroascorbic acid). When the ascorbic acid runs out‚ the iodine will react with the starch in the beverage. At this poin‚ I will be able to recognize

Metals and Halogens reactions Elements such as fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine‚ and astatine belong to Group 7‚ Halogens. At room temperature‚ fluorine is a yellow gas‚ chlorine is a pale green gas‚ bromine is a red liquid‚ and iodine is a purple solid. Astatine is a radioactive element‚ therefore it exists only in small amounts. All the halogens exist in diatomic molecules. They have high ionization energies and are the most electronegative elements. Their electron configuration ns2 np5 make
