    This document describes an experiment to determine the order, rate constant, and activation energy of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of iodide ions. Two reaction mixtures will be studied - Mixture A at three temperatures and Mixture B at one temperature. The volume of oxygen gas evolved over time will be measured to determine the rate of reaction and calculate kinetic parameters. Proper experimental procedure and setup is outlined.

    CHEMICAL KINETICS: H2O2 DECOMPOSITION, RATE, AND ACTIVATION ENERGY Objective: In this experiment, the order, rate constant,

    and activation energy for the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the iodide ion in a basic solution will be determined. Introduction: The reaction to be studied is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the iodide ion, for which the form of the rate equation, the value of the rate constant, and the activation energy will be determined. H2O2 + H2O + 4O2(g) Two reaction mixtures are to be studied. Mixture A and Mixture B. Mixture A will consist of: H2O2 4 mL, H2O 15 mL, NaOH (0.2 M) 1 mL, KI (0.8 M) 5 mL. Mixture A is to be studied at three temperatures: T1 = approximately 25C, T2 = approximately 35C, T3 = approximately 45C. Mixture B will consist of: H2O2 4 mL, H2O 10 mL, NaOH (0.2 M) 1 mL, KI (0.8 M) 10 mL. Mixture B will be studied at one temperature: T1 = approximately 25C. For convenience, the four runs can be referred to as A-1, A-2, A-3, and B.
    Note: There is another similar reaction possible in this system involving H+ that also liberates O2. The solution will be slightly basic to reduce [H+] and to minimize this possible complication.

    Glassware /Chemicals/Materials:  The following are the Glassware /Chemicals/Materials that will be utilized in this experiment. H2O2 H2O NaOH (0.2 M) KI (0.8 M) Funnel Burrtte magnetic stirrer rubber tubings Iron clamp iron stand Erlenmeyer flask rubber stopper Pinch clamp Beaker Procedure: Erlenmeyer Flask - add reactants in order (H2O2, H2O, NaOH) - allow to stand for a couple of minutes - add KI - to set-up (refer to figure 1) - quickly insert the stopper in the tube close the pinch clamp - start the stirrer - start the stop watch when the water level in the burette reaches 2.00 mL. - record the times of evolution of successive 2.00 mL increments ( up to 20.00 mL.) - let the reaction continue to completion - record the final volume of O2 evolved. - do data treatment (see attached page) Rate and activation energy of the decomposition of H2O2
    Note: Throughout the gas evolution and timing, maintain the water level in the leveling funnel at the same height as that in the burette to ensure that the volume of O2 is being measured at a constant pressure. At the start of each test: (1) The Erlenmeyer flask should be clean, dry, and clamped in place in the water bath over the magnetic stirrer. (2) The stirring bar should be in place at the bottom of the flask with the stirrer off. (3) The water level in the buret should be at 0.00 to 1 mL from the top, and the value should be recorded. (4) The pinch clamp on the two-hole stopper should be open, with the stopper itself hanging just to the side of the flask (ready to be inserted when the KI is added.)
