BRIGGS RAUSCHER OSCILLATING CLOCK COURSEWORK Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. To investigate the order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide and ethanoic acid (acetic acid) by the use of an oscillating clock reaction. To determine the activation enthalpy with and without catalytic ions and use this to compare the effectiveness. To investigate the rate equation‚ rate constant and possible mechanism for this reaction. Background research: The Briggs-Rauscher
