Iodine is an element that is critical for normal function of the thyroid gland‚ which is a key regulator of the body’s basic metabolic rate. Iodine is a micronutrient‚ meaning we require only small amounts of it. For example‚ adults need about 150 micrograms of iodine in the form of iodide ion per day. However‚ an insufficient supply of iodide via diet and drinking water causes the non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter. Prolonged lack of iodide can lead to loss of thyroid

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 medicine. The rate at which different reactions

explores the kinetics of a chemical reaction you will need a way of measuring the rate of the reaction. Clock reactions provide an interesting way of doing this for some systems. In a typical reaction the first part of a graph showing the concentration of product against time is approximately a straight line (see Figure 1). If you choose any value of concentration that lies on this straight line (say c1) the initial rate of reaction can be found by dividing this concentration by the time taken to reach

Tutorial #3 1. The discovery of the cell occurred in 1665. The cell has made great progress in the discovery of how humans and other organisms work. 2. The discovery of genetic material in DNA occurred in 1865. This allowed us to determine different traits in mammals. As well as how we can determine different traits‚ and the percent chance of obtaining these traits. 3. In 1885 the cell culture technique was first developed. This allows us to view cells outside of their environment

Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.[1][2] Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words‚ determination is not just a cognitive state‚ but rather an affective state.[3] In the psychology literature‚ researchers have studied determination under other terms‚ including

Number: 7123 AS and A2 Aims: AS AIMS: 1. Investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. For this aim 3 sets of results will be obtained by timing how long it takes for the colour change to occur in different temperatures determined by the use of an electric water bath. With these results‚ the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction will be investigated. 2. Determine the activation enthalpy with and without the catalyst ammonium molybdate(VI)

Finding the rate law was the overall goal of the laboratory. When finding the wavelength of the Azo Orange II dye‚ the highest wave was the point used‚ 483nm. The plotted points of the different concentrations absorbance’s made sense to have a steady upward slope because the dye was diluted in steady increments from full to ¾ and so on. Beer’s law was used next to calculate the absorbance of they time over time as bleach was added. One the absorbance value was calculated‚ the concentrations were
