Question

Rates of Chemical Reactions 1: A Clock Reaction

2. What effect does doubling the concentration of I- have on the rate of this reaction?

3. What effect does changing the [S2O8-2] have on the reaction?

Explanation / Answer

Q.2: Since order of iodine clock reaction w.r.to I- is approximately 1, on doubling the cncentration I-, the rate also doubles.

Q.3: To calculate the order of S2O8-2, volume of the aliquot is required.
