Iodine Clock Experiment
The reaction of with is known as the Harcourt-Essen reaction and can be represented as follows:
 
(1)  
 
The reaction of with thiosulfate can be used to measure the rate of the preceding reaction.
 
The following reaction is rapid:
(2)  
 
Thus, in the presence of , any produced by reaction(1) will be immediately converted back to by reaction(2). Not until all of the thiosulfate has been consumed will become detectable in solution
The addition of starch assists the visual detection of this 'end-point', as the starch-I complex forms a dark blue solution. Prior to this, the solution is colourless.
This overall process is known as the Iodine Clock Reaction.
Consider only the first reaction. The general rate of reaction(1) can be written as:
 
 
 
where k is the specific rate constant and b, c, and d are the order exponents of the respective reactants. On imposing pseudo first order conditions with respect to , the rate law can be written as:
 
 
 
If a is the initial concentration of in the reaction vessel, and x is the amount by which the concentration of has changed by time t (equal to the concentration of produced), integration yield:
 
 
A student makes up the following solutions using 0.0500 M  and 0.0200 M . Each solution has also: 5.00 mL of 1.000 M KI, 10.00mL of 0.750 M and 1.0 mL of 1% starch. The final volume of each solution is 50.00mL. The student begins timing from the moment he pours the solution into the acidic  solution and records the time it takes for the solution to turn blue. 
Calculate a in Solution # AB 5.
____________
 
Calculate x in Solution # AB 5.
____________
 
Using the data for all 8 solutions and linear regression analysis (trendline in Excel), calculate the value of k' to three significant figures.
____________
