    Iodide Clock Reaction

    Uploaded by

    Chrono Aeon
    This experiment demonstrates the kinetics of two simultaneous chemical reactions through the iodine clock reaction. When solutions of vitamin C, iodine, hydrogen peroxide, and starch are mixed, the vitamin C initially reacts with and consumes any elemental iodine produced, keeping the solution clear. However, once the vitamin C is fully consumed, elemental iodine is free to form a blue-colored complex with starch, signaling the reactions have completed. The experiment aims to show students how the rates of reactions can be influenced by conditions like reactant amounts over time.

    Iodide Clock Reaction

    I. Purpose/Objective of the Experiment


    This experiment aims to:
    - Introduce the idea of kinetics present in the experiment; and
    - Provide an explanation about the changes which occurs in
    each flask in a specific period of time.

    II. Materials
    1. Distilled Water
    2. A couple plastic cups
    3. 1000 mg vitamin C tablets
    4. tincture of iodine (2%)
    5. hydrogen peroxide (3%)
    6. liquid laundry starch

    III. Method/Procedure
    1. Make a vitamin C solution by crushing a 1000 mg vitamin C tablet
    and dissolving it in 2 Oz of water. Label this as “vitamin C stock
    solution”.
    2. Combine 1 tsp of the vitamin C stock solution with 1 tsp of iodine and
    2 Oz of water. Label this “solution A”.
    3. Prepare “solution B” by adding 2 oz of water to 3 tsp of hydrogen
    peroxide and ½ tsp of liquid starch solution.
    4. Pour solution A into solution B, and pour the resulting solution back
    into the empty cup to mix them thoroughly. Keep pouring the liquid
    back and fourth between the cups.
    IV. Chemistry behind the experiment / Scientific Explanation
    There are two chemical reactions going on at the same time when
    you combine the solutions. During these reactions two forms of iodine
    created – the elemental form and the ion form. In Reaction #1 iodide
    ions react with hydrogen peroxide to produce iodine element which
    is blue in the presence of starch. But, before that can actually
    happen, the Vitamin C quickly reacts and consumes the elemental
    iodine. The net result, at least for part of the time is that the solution
    remains colorless with excess of iodide ions being present. Now after
    a short time as the reactions keep proceeding in this fashion, the
    Vitamin C gets gradually used up. Once the Vitamin C is used up, the
    solution turns blue, because now the iodine element and starch are
    present.

    V. Significance/Importance of the Experiment


    It is very important for a chemist to understand the conditions that
    affects the rate of a chemical reaction. In the process of chemical
    manufacturing, controlling the rate of a given reaction can make all
    the difference between an economical and an uneconomical
    process
