उद्देश्य

आयोडीन घड़ी अभिक्रिया का उपयोग करके अभिक्रिया गतिकी और अभिक्रिया दर पर सांद्रता और तापमान के प्रभाव का प्रदर्शन करें।

पृष्ठभूमि

The iodine clock reaction is a classic demonstration of chemical kinetics. Two colorless solutions are mixed and after a predictable delay, the solution suddenly turns dark blue. The delay occurs because bisulfite (HSO₃⁻) rapidly reduces any I₂ produced back to I⁻ (the clock mechanism). When all the bisulfite is consumed, I₂ accumulates and reacts with starch to produce the dramatic blue-black color. By varying concentration or temperature, students can explore factors affecting reaction rate.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • H₂SO₄ is corrosive
  • NaHSO₃ releases SO₂ gas if over-acidified — work in ventilated area
  • KIO₃ is an oxidizer
  • Hot plate surfaces are a burn hazard

प्रक्रिया

1

Prepare Solution A: Dissolve 2 g KIO₃ in 200 mL water, add 20 mL of 0.5M H₂SO₄.

5 मिनट
2

Prepare Solution B: Dissolve 1 g NaHSO₃ in 200 mL water, add 10 mL of 1% starch solution.

5 मिनट
3

Trial 1 (baseline): Mix 50 mL of A with 50 mL of B and start the stopwatch immediately. Record the time until the solution turns blue.

5 मिनट
4

Trial 2 (concentration effect): Mix 25 mL of A + 25 mL water with 50 mL of B. Record the time. It should take approximately twice as long.

7 मिनट
5

Trial 3 (temperature effect): Warm both solutions to 40°C. Mix 50 mL of each and record the time. It should be significantly shorter.

8 मिनट Handle warm solutions carefully
6

Trial 4 (cold): Cool both solutions to 10°C in an ice bath. Mix and record the time.

8 मिनट
7

Plot reaction time vs. concentration and temperature. Discuss rate law, activation energy, and the Arrhenius equation.

अपेक्षित परिणाम

The blue color appears suddenly after a delay of 5–60 seconds depending on conditions. Doubling concentration roughly halves the time. Increasing temperature by 10°C roughly halves the time (consistent with the Arrhenius equation).

सफाई

Pour reacted solutions down the drain with water. Rinse all glassware. Clean the magnetic stirrer.
