Observe
• To conduct an experiment in order to discover and calculate the expression known as the rate law for a particular reaction.
• To conduct an experiment in order to determine the role each reactant plays within the reaction and the overall activation energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to occur all while utilizing an analytical tool.
Procedure
1. Determination of Reaction Rates
• Obtain boiled, deionized water, pipets or burets, and 20-mL beakers or 150 mm test tubes in order to mix solutions for 8 kinetic trials.
• Make sure to measure the volumes of potassium iodide and sodium thiosulfate with pipets before adding them to the test tubes or the beakers.
• For Trial #4, acquire
