Simulation For The Iodine Clock Experiment Materials
Simulation For The Iodine Clock Experiment Materials
Materials
Three 600 mL beakers containing clear solutions labeled "1A", "2A", and
"3A". (See "Discussion" section for contents of the beakers.)
Three 400 mL beakers containing clear solutions labeled "1B", "2B", and
"3B". (See "Discussion" section for contents of the beakers.)
Three glass stirring rods.
A clock or watch for timing the reactions.
Procedure
Option 1
Have 3 students, safety goggles on, pour the solutions of B into A
simultaneously. Begin timing. Stir vigorously
Option 3
Pour the contents of beaker 1B into the beaker labeled 1A. Begin timing.
Stir vigorously until the solution turns blue. Record the time that elapsed.
Pour the contents of beaker 2B into the beaker labeled 2A. Begin timing.
Stir vigorously until the solution turns blue. Record the time that elapsed.
Pour the contents of beaker 3B into the beaker labeled 3A. Begin timing.
Stir vigorously until the solution turns blue. Record the time that elapsed.
This demonstration takes about twelve minutes to present.
Safety Precautions
Avoid getting any of the solutions on you. If you do get chemicals on your skin,
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If you get chemicals in your eyes, flush
with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
