1. You are provided with:
•Solution A aqueous Iron(III) sulphate.
• Solution B aqueous potassium iodide.
• Solution C mixture of aqueous starch and sodium thiosulphate solution.
You are required to determine the rate of reaction between aqueous Iron(III) sulphate (Solution A) and aqueous potassium iodide (solution B).
Procedure:
(i) Place 5 test tubes on a test tube rack and label them 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Fill a burette with solution A.
To each test tube place 3 cm3 of solution A from the burette.
(ii) Clean the burette and fill it with solution B. Place 8 cm3of solution B into a 100 ml beaker from the burette.
(iii) Using a 10 ml measuring cylinder, add 2 c 3 of solution C to the beaker containing Solution B followed by 7 cm3 of distilled water measured using the same 10m1 measuring cylinder.
(iv) Pour the contents of test tube 1 to the mixture in the beaker and immediately start the stop watch.
Swirl the contents of the beaker.
Record in table 1 the time taken for a blue colour to just appear.
Measure the temperature of the final mixture and record in the space provided.
Wash the beaker and proceed to step (v).
Place 6 cm3 of solution B into 100 ml beaker from the burene.
Add 2 cm3 of solution C followed by 9 cm3 of distilled water.
Add solution A in test tube 2 to the mixture in the beaker and immediately start the stop watch.
Swirl the contents of the beaker.
Record in table 1 the time taken for a blue colour to just appear. This is experiment 2.
(vi) Wash the beaker. Repeat step .
(v) With solution A in test tubes 3, 4 and 5 with corresponding volumes of solution B, solution C and distilled water as indicated in table 1 for experiments 3, 4 and 5.
(a) Temperature of final mixture……………………….°C (1 mark)
