Document Summary

Determining the rate of reaction and rate constant of the. The purpose of this experiment conducted was to determine the rate of oxidation of iodide ions by the persulphate ions to conclude the overall rate law for the reaction. When considering the reaction of ammonium peroxodisulphate and potassium iodide yielding iodine, ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate, the leftover ions present after dissociation are peroxodisulphate, iodine ions as reactants and iodine, sulfate as products. In order to measure the rate of the reaction, knowing one of the species quantities will assist in finding the overall rate. However, by adding thiosulfate, the reaction can be performed in a simpler manner. The thiosulfate acts as a holding point for the violet colour up until all the thiosulfate is used. The time elapsed would be used to figure out the rate law. In order to figure out the rate of the reaction, - s2o8. 2 must be divided with the elapsed time.
