Iodine Isotopes are the atoms that have in their nucleus an atomic number corresponding to the chemical behavior of that element. Since isotopes have the same number of protons‚ they all have identical chemical behavior. But‚ however‚ since their neutron numbers are different the isotopes of the same element may have different radioactivity. An isotope that is radioactive is called a radioisotope like iodine‚ which is important in our health. In radioactivity‚ the nucleus of an unstable isotope

Lab #3: Method of Initial Rates: Iodine Clock Introduction The detailed system of steps in a reaction is called the reaction mechanism‚ and it is one of the principal aims of chemical kinetics to obtain information to aid in the elucidation of these mechanisms in order to better understand chemical processes. Reactions usually occur in a stepwise manner with each step proceeding at a different speed. If the rate of reaction is slow enough to measure‚ this is indicative of a step much slower

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

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

Using the Iodine clock method to find the order of a reaction Introduction When peroxodisulfate (VI) ions and iodide ions react together in solution they form sulfate (VI) ions and iodide. This reaction is shown below: S2O82-aq+ 2I-aq SO42-aq+ I2(aq) The reactants and the sulfate (VI) ions are colourless however the Iodine is a yellow/brown colour. This allows you to measure the progress of the reaction through the colour change when the iodine is produced. In order to determine the order of

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

Many advanced high school and college chemistry students perform an experiment known as the "iodine-clock" reaction‚ in which hydrogen peroxide reacts with iodide to form iodine‚ and the iodine subsequently reacts with thiosulfate ion until the thiosulfate has been consumed. At that point‚ the reaction solutions turn blue in the presence of starch. The experiment helps students understand the fundamentals of chemical kinetics --- the speeds at which reactions take place. 1. Activation Energy

The dollar value LIFO method is another approach used for inventory valuation‚ it follows the last in first out but take into consideration the impact of inflation. The dollar value LIFO method is derived from the LIFO method and it’s designed to overcome the main problem of LIFO method which is liquidation. The dollar value LIFO method groups all type of goods in the inventory in a pool and the pool is measured by the total dollar amount instead of physical quantity. The balance sheet view differ
