Discussion 1- Rate of reaction , [ S2O82- ] / t , as calculated from graphs ( slope of lines ) : Solution 1: 1.80 x 10-6 M/s Solution 2 : 4.

04 x 10-6 M/s Solution 3 : 3.23 x 10-6 M/s Solution 4 : 1.36 x 10-6 M/s

2- The effect on the rate of reaction when doubling the concentration of I - is the value of rate of reaction also become double due to its direct effect. 3- The effect on the rate of reaction when the changing of the conncentration of S2O82- is the rate of reaction also change. 4- The rate law : Reaction of peroxydisulfate ion with iodide ion : S2O82- (aq) + 2I- (aq) I2 (aq) + 2SO42- (aq) Rate of dissapearance of S2O82- = k [ S2O82- ]x [I- ]y k [ S2O82- ]1 [ I- ]2 5- The rate constant, k based on the knowledge of x and y in the equation is : Overall reaction is 3rd order reaction : k = rate / [ S2082- ]1 [ I- ]2 = 4.04 x 10-6 M/s / [ 0.10 M ] [ 0.05 M ]2 = 0.01616 / M2 S The rate of reaction also increase when the concentration of the reactant is increase. The time taken is difference between two colour produce is due to the colission theory for a reaction happen with two reacting particles involved. The conditions are the particles must collide with each other, collision must be energetic enough to overcome teh activation energy. Then it must occur with correct geometrical alignment which is it must bring teh reactive parts of molecules into contact in the correct way. The process is related whereby the concentrations of reactans increase, the particles per volume also increase. The probability collision between iodide and peroxydisulfate ions also increase which bring the number of effective collision increase and rate of reaction increase . The error that had detected is the contaminator during the transfer or addition of solution. If so, it is very difficult for experiment to take not since all solutions are colourless.

Conclusion Based on the above experiment, we can conclude that the increases of concentrations will have changes on the rate of reaction which increase too. Based on the graph wee can see that the relationship is linearly increasing. The concentration of iodide increase will make the rate of reaction iodide oxidation increase and the number of effective collisin and extension also increase. The probability in collision and number of effective collision also increase, those with sufficient activation energy and minimal steric stress increase or the rate of reaction increase.
