Please explain how to do the following and providetheanswers...thanks
A student studied the clock reaction described inthisexperiment. She set up Reaction Mixture 2 by mixing 20 mL0.010M KI, 10 mL 0.001 M Na2S2O3,10 mL0.040 M KBrO3, and 10 mL 0.10 M HCL using theproceduregiven. It took about 45 seconds for the color toturn blue.
2. For Reaction Mixture 1 the student found that 85secondswere required. On dividing Equation 5 for ReactionMixture 1 byEquation 5 for Reaction Mixture 2, and after cancelingout thecommon terms (k', terms in (BrO3-)and (H+)),she got the following equation: 11.8 / 22 = (0.0020/0.0040)m = (1/2)mRecognizing that 11.8/22 is about equal to 1/2, she obtainedanapproximate value for m. What was that value? m= __________ By taking logarithms of both sides of the equation, she gotanexact value for m. What was that value? m= __________

The kinetics of the reaction below were studied. The volumes of 0.040 M KBrO3, 0.040 M KI,
0.00050 M Na2S2O3, 0.040 M KCl, H2O and a buffer solution employed in each trial are shown
in the table below. One drop of 1% aqueous starch solution was also added in each trial. The
buffer solution was a pH = 4.74 solution containing 0.50 M acetic acid and 0.50 M sodium acetate; Ka = 1.8 x 10â5 for acetic acid. Each trial was performed at 25â¦C. For each trial, the reaction mixture was initially colorless after combining all solutions; appearance of a blue solution color in the reaction mixture signaled that all of the thiosulfate ion initially present had reacted and marked the end of the timing period. The initial reaction rate for each trial was calculated from the change in molar concentration of thiosulfate ion from each trial; the equation for calculating Initial Rate is shown below, where Ît is the elapsed time between combining all solutions and appearance of the blue solution color. Each solution volume was measured to the nearest 0.1 mL. (ie 5 mL shown in the table is 5.0 mL.)
BrO3- (aq) + 6Iâ(aq) + 6H+(aq) â 3H2O(l) + Brâ(aq) + 3I2(aq)
Initial rate = - 13âS2O32-ât
