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

the form of a metal ion affect the rate of reaction in an iodide clock reaction with potassium peroxydisulphate ions? Background When peroxydisulfate ions (S2O82-) react with iodide ions (I-) in the presence of a starch indicator‚ they produce a dark blue solution. Reaction (1) S2O82- + 3I- I3- + 2 SO42- (peroxydisulfate ion) (iodide ion) (iodine ion) (sulfate ion) To determine the rate law for this reaction a series of changes in the concentration of

In my coursework I will investigate about enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying

Iodine: Function of Iodine: Iodine is a mineral found in food. This mineral is needed to make thyroid hormones. The hormones created are used to control the body’s metabolism and lots of other important functions. The thyroid hormones are also used for bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy. This mineral is important for everyone‚ especially infants and women who are pregnant. The amount of Iodine needed for your daily intake recommended of the mineral depends on your age:

In order to prepare the iodine solution titrant‚ exactly 50 mL of 0.01 M KIO3‚ exactly 20 mL of 10% KI solution‚ and exactly 25 mL of 0.3 M H2SO4 was transferred into a 100 mL volumetric flask using a volumetric pipette. The volumetric flask was then filled to the mark with distilled water. The flask was covered with Parafilm and inverted to mix. The next part of the experiment was to determine the Vitamin C in a solution of known concentration. Observations of the Vitamin C sample and the amount

Iodine deficiency is a major threat to the health and development of the world‚ predominantly among toddlers and pregnant women in low-income countries. It is a significant public health problem in 130 countries and affects 740 million people. An estimated one-third of the world’s population is currently susceptible to the risk of iodine deficiency. Iodine is a vital nutrient for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland‚ which regulates growth and metabolism. Iodine deficiency is the primary cause

INTRODUCTION Iodine deficiency disorders are still very much prevalent in the world today. Two billion people‚ estimated by the WHO‚ still lack a sufficient level of iodine in their diets which leads to a range of disorders known as iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). So what is iodine? Iodine is an essential micronutrient in the diet which is used by the thyroid gland (located in the throat) to produce thyroid hormones which help control the body’s metabolism. The two most important thyroid

A nuclear weapon is commonly defined as a device‚ which uses a nuclear reaction for destructive means. There are six different types of nuclear bombs. The two main types of nuclear weapons: atom bombs and hydrogen bombs. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful‚ destructive bomb of all. In this essay I’m going to give a brief history of the hydrogen bomb‚ the chemistry behind the bomb‚ and how much destruction the hydrogen bomb can do. After the Soviet Union’s atomic bomb success during the cold war
