Perhaps the three most influential men in the pre-Civil War era were Henry Clay‚ John C. Calhoun‚ and Daniel Webster. These men all died nearly a decade before the civil war began‚ but they didn’t know how much they would effect it. States’ rights was a very controversial issue‚ and one which had strong opposition and radical proposals coming from both sides. John C. Calhoun was in favor of giving states the power to nullify laws that they saw unconstitutional‚ and he presented this theory in his

Aims The aims of this investigation are: 1. To find the rate equation of the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and iodide ions. This will be achieved by using an iodine clock method and colorimetric analysis. 2. Draw a graph of rate against concentration for each reactant (Hydrogen peroxide‚ potassium iodide and H+ ions). 3. Finding the order for each reactant 4. Finding the rate-determining step. 5. Proposing a mechanism for the reaction. 6. Using Arrhenius’ equation to find the activation

PLAN Introduction: After having built up knowledge about the kinetics of reactions I decided to do an investigation in this area. I was initially introduced to this particular reaction1 in EP6.4 and then in AA2.1. I was interested in using this reaction as a means of potentially supporting and quantifying some of the theories that I have studied along with also perhaps extending on them. Aim: Using a clock reaction I shall: Investigate the effect of concentration for each reactant and
