reaction. Clock reactions provide an interesting way of doing this for some systems. In a typical reaction the first part of a graph showing the concentration of product against time is approximately a straight line (see Figure 1). If you choose any value of concentration that lies on this straight line (say c1) the initial rate of reaction can be found by dividing this concentration by the time taken to reach it (t1). [pic] Figure 1 If you measure the time taken for the same concentration

Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

Tutorial #3 1. The discovery of the cell occurred in 1665. The cell has made great progress in the discovery of how humans and other organisms work. 2. The discovery of genetic material in DNA occurred in 1865. This allowed us to determine different traits in mammals. As well as how we can determine different traits‚ and the percent chance of obtaining these traits. 3. In 1885 the cell culture technique was first developed. This allows us to view cells outside of their environment

CHEMICAL KINETICS: IODINE-CLOCK REACTION DATE SUBMITTED: 14 DECEMBER 2012 DATE PERFORMED: 7 DECEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT Chemical kinetics involving reaction rates and mechanisms is an essential part of our daily life in the modern world. It helps us understand whether particular reactions are favorable and how to save time or prolong time during each reaction. Experiment demonstrated the how concentration‚ temperature and presence of a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction. 5 runs of dilution

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

JULIA SELORMEY BIO 111 Iodine Description: Is a trace mineral that your body uses in small amounts to synthesize thyroid hormones that are necessary for regulating the body growth‚ development‚ metabolism and body temperature. Most of the iodine in the body is found in the thyroid gland‚ but is found also in the blood and muscles. The body contains approximately 20 to 30 mg of iodine which is mostly stored in the thyroid gland located in front of the neck. Food sources: Milk is the major

Investigating the effects of changing concentration: iodine clock reaction. Abstract This is an experiment to show the Iodine Clock Reaction. To create a chemical reaction to see how long it takes for solution to change to a dark blue Color. When changing the concentration of the iodide (K1) and adding distill water to make it up to 5cm³ each time. This is to see if the reaction takes less with less concentration or faster with more concentration added to the peroxodisulphatee. So with the solution

An investigation on the activation energy for the iodine clock reaction Introduction: The iodine clock reaction is a presentation of chemical kinetics‚ which are the elements that affect the rate of chemical reactions. When the two colorless solutions are incorporated together‚ no reaction can be spotted. But after a short period of time‚ the solution turns into a dark blue solution. The term rate of reaction is stated as the decrease in the concentration of one of the reactions or the increase

RELATIONSHIPS THAT CONCENTRATION AND TEMPERATURE HAVE ON THE RATE OF REACTION Aim To study the effect that temperature and concentration of iodide ion solution have on the rate of iodide ion I⁻ oxidation by peroxodisulphate ion S₂O₈⁻‚ creating an iodine clock reaction. Introduction I decided to choose as the topic for my investigation the rate of reaction for its vital importance in the human body. Indeed I am really interested in Biology and especially physiology and I would like to study medicine
