The reactions changed color for 562 seconds (more than 9 minutes). A
decrease of the time interval between colors is observed. This could be a
manifestation that the reaction reaches equilibrium over time. A pattern of color
change is observed. First, the solution turns red after mixing solutions A,B, and C.
Then, the solution slowly turns from red to white where it slowly loses its red color
during the duration. The solution is white for a certain amount of time until is
suddenly turns to red color again. The pattern is repeated with longer intervals
through time. The red color could signify the presence of molecular bromine in the
mixture while the white color signifies the absence of it. The change of color also
showed that there are a couple of pathways that the reaction follows at a certain
time. These pathways follow an alternating pattern as seen from the color change.

Less oscillations with longer intervals between colors occurred. It could be


because less reactants which are the bromide ions from KBr are added compared to
when the solutions A, B and C were mixed. Nevertheless, it shows that the reaction
can be continued by adding more of some of its reactants. The change of colors
lasted for 545 seconds which is roughly the same from before.
