    Measuring Reaction Rates Lab Sheet


    The Iodine Clock Reaction
    Student Lab Sheet

    Background/Theory
    Understanding the conditions that affect the rate of a chemical reaction is essential in many
    different real-world applications of chemistry. The rate of reaction determined by several factors,
    including the concentration of the reactants, temperature, the surface area of reactants (for a
    heterogeneous reaction), nature of reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. This lab focuses on the
    effect of temperature (part 1) and concentration (part 2) on the reaction rate.

    The experiment uses the iodine clock reaction. Here, two clear, colorless solutions (named solutions
    A and B) react to form a blue-black solution, due to the reaction between starch and iodine. When
    either solution is heated to different temperatures or a series of concentrations is made students
    will be able to observe a measurable difference in reaction rate.

    Learning objectives
    In this lab you will:
    • Practice laboratory techniques of safely altering the temperature of a solution and creating
    different concentrations of a solution.
    • Observe and record the effect of changing the temperature of a system on the rate of a
    reaction
    • Observe and record the effect of changing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of a
    reaction
    • Apply the concepts of particle collision theory

    What you’ll need


    • Solution A
    • Solution B
    • 2 Conical flasks
    • 3 Measuring cylinders
    • A magnetic stirrer (if available)
    • Hot water source (e.g. kettle or urn)
    • Cold water source
    • Thermometer
    • Plastic container (water bath)
    • Safety glasses

    What to Do:
    The lab will be run in two parts. Work in groups of two or three students to carry out the
    experiments and then complete the post-lab tasks.

    Part 1: Changing the temperature of the solution:


    1. Measure 20ml of each solution into two separate conical flasks.
    2. Set up a water bath to heat solution B by mixing hot and cold water to obtain a given
    temperature.
    3. Place solution B into the water bath and allow it to reach temperature.
    4. Add solution A to solution B and swirl it carefully. Record the time taken for the solution to
    turn blue-black.
    5. Repeat for other temperatures.

    Part 2: Changing the concentration of the solution:


    1. Measure 20ml of solution A into a conical flask
    2. Make up the following concentrations of solution B:
    • 25% - 5ml solution B and 15ml water
    • 50% - 10ml solution B and 10ml water
    • 75% - 15ml solution B and 5ml water
    • 100% - 20ml solution B
    3. Add solution A to the first concentration of solution B and swirl. Record the time taken for
    the solution to turn blue-black.
    4. Repeat for other concentrations.

    Safety:
    • Once mixed, solution A and B can release vapors which may make you feel unwell if the
    reacted flasks are left to sit for too long. Ensure that flasks are promptly rinsed out once the
    reaction has finished.

    Post-Lab Tasks
    1. Draw a graph for each set of results you have obtained.

    2. Write a generalized conclusion for the effect of temperature and concentration on reaction
    rate.

    3. Identify THREE factors which may affect the reliability of the results from this lab. For each
    explain how these factors would affect the reliability of the conclusion.

    4. Explain using particle theory how changing the temperature of solution B affects the rate of
    reaction.

    5. Explain using particle theory how changing the concentration of solution B affects the rate of
    reaction.
