The Iodine Clock Reaction: Starch, Vitamin T
The Iodine Clock Reaction is a popular experiment that demonstrates a chemical reaction. In the mixture there is a reaction between iodine, liquid starch, Vitamin C., and hydrogen peroxide. The iodine is naturally an amber or brown color, however, when mixed with starch it becomes a dark purple. On the other hand, the iodine will become completely clear if it is combined with Vitamin C because it will change the iodine into I-, which is not affected by starch. Hydrogen peroxide will turn iodine into a different form of iodine, I2, which is affected by liquid starch. In the experiment, more hydrogen peroxide was added than Vitamin C. so hydrogen peroxide will force the Vitamin C. out of the reaction, making the iodine into the I2. This will
