QUESTIONS

  1. You are provided with:
  • Solution A, potassium iodate solution.
  • Solution B, acidified sodium hydrogen sulphite solution.
  • Solution C, starch indicator.
  • Stop watch.
  • Distilled water.

You are required to find out the effect of concentration of potassium iodate, A on the rate of reaction with acidified sodium hydrogen sulphite, B.
NB: The end point of reaction of potassium iodate with acidified sodium hydrogen sulphite is indicated by the formation of a blue colored complex using starch indicator.

Step 2

  • Using a 10 cm3 measuring cylinder add 5 cm3 of acidified sodium hydrogen sulphite, solution B to each of the test tube in the rack.

Step 3

  • Using a burette pour 10 cm3 of potassium iodate solution to the first test tube.

Step 4

  • Add 8 cm3 of potassium iodate solution to the second test tube, 6 cm3 to the third test tube, 4 cm3 to the fourth test tube and 2 cm3 to the fifth test tube.

Step 5

  • Using a 10 cm3 measuring cylinder add 2 cm3 of distilled water into the second test tube, 4 cm3 to the third test tube, 6 cm3 to the fourth test tube and 8 cm3 to the fifth test tube.

Step 6

  • Using a 10 cm3 measuring cylinder add 10 cm3 of solution B into a 100 cm3 beaker, add 3 drops of solution C and shake well. To this mixture add quickly contents in the first test tube and start a stopwatch immediately. Shake the mixture and note the time taken for the blue color to appear. Record the time taken in table I.

Step 7

  • Rinse the beaker and repeat procedure in step 6 using the other solutions prepared in step 4 above and complete the table I.
