How does a catalyst in 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

Zinc oxide in a mixture with a about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is called calamine and is used in calamine lotion. There are also two minerals‚ smithsonite and hemimorphite‚ which have been called calamine historically (see: calamine (mineral). Zinc peroxide‚ ZnO2 .½ H2O‚ is a white to yellow powder that is used in antiseptic ointments. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints and is more opaque than lithopone‚ but less opaque than titanium dioxide. It is also used in coatings for paper

Devon Backstrom February 5st 2013 PSU Chemistry 222 – Lab 4 Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract: This lab was designed to observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into it oxygen and water. The equation for this reaction is H202 H2O + +1/2O2 thus by measuring volume and pressure of O2 generated the amount of O2 generated can be calculated which in turn can be utilized to determine the concentration of water already in the H2O2 solution. The results determined that 3.02% of the

Aim: To investigate the rate of thermal decomposition of CaCO3 at different temperatures. Research Question How does temperature influence the rate of thermal decomposition in CaCO3? Hypothesis Every time more heat is added to the element‚ CaCO3‚ thermal decomposition will take place faster because the heat is a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. Variables Dependent Variables → Mass of Calcium Carbonate Independent Variables → Temperature Controlled Variables → Calcium Carbonate

Aspects of Decomposition: A Brief Overview Kyle Jackman Animals are complex creatures. The animal can perform such tasks as reproduction‚ digestion‚ and simply movement. This is leaving out the more basic functions of respiration‚ circulation‚ and various maintenance functions. All of these processes are very complex‚ from the superficial all the way to the chemical level. Decomposition is one of these processes. It is common belief in our society to believe that death is an event‚ but

A plot of against gives a straight line. Example 4 The Arrhenius parameters which define the Arrhenius equation for the decomposition of cyclobutane are In (A/s-1) = 15.6 and Ea = 261 kJ mol-1. Determine the half-life of cyclobutane at the temperature of 773 K. C4H8 (g) 2 C2H4 (g) The decomposition of cyclobutane follows first order kinetics as the unit of A is s-1. Comment: The units for A provide information on the reaction’s overall order of kinetics

ZINC Zinc is one of the natural elements on the periodic table. It was discovered in Germany in 1746‚ by Andreas Marggraf. The name is from the German‚ ‘zinc’‚ which may be derived from Persian‚ which means ‘sing’. The element was known to the Romans but they rarely used it. When it was first used it was recognized. Zinc has a specification of metal made from ore or another material a process of distillation by electrolysis. The atomic number for zinc is 30. The mass number is 65.39 mass units
