Reaction 8.2b p.218. The kinetics of the reaction between iodine and propanone in acidic solution.

Method 1.

Required apparatus:

8 titration flasks             titrating apparatus                               Timer

Pipette with its safety-filler

A=60 cm30.02M I2                                                                                       B=30cm3 1M propanone

C=30cm31M sulphuric acid                                          D=100ml 0.5M NaHCO3

E=200ml thiosulphate(0.01M)

1.        Set up titration apparatus and fulfil with 0.010M sodium thiosulphate.

2.        Label titration flasks 1,2,3,45,6,7,8.

3.        In 1 put 50 cm3 of 0.02M I2 in KI.

4.        In 2 put 25 cm3 of aqueous propanone (CH3COCH3) and 25 cm3 of 1M H2SO4.

5.        Into remaining 6 put 10cm3 of 0.5M NaHCO3(sodium hydrogencarbonate).

6.        Start time, pour flask 2 into flask 1 and shake for 1 minute.

7.        Withdraw using pipette + safety filler & run into flask 3.

8.        Shake until bubbling ceases, note time (record below).

9.        Put a bit 1% starch into the liquid (starch makes I2 black and thus titration easier).

10.      Titrate with 0.010M sodium thiosulphate (Na S2O3).

11.      Repeat last three at every 5-10 min.

Flask No.

The line of best fit will be a straight line, thus reaction is zero order wrt. I2.

Method 2

4 boilingtubes in  holder               burette with holder              Timer

100 cm3 2M HCl              50cm32M propanone           20cm3 H2O

50cm30.01M I2 20cm3 and 10cm3 pipettes with filler  beakers

1.       Set up testtubes and label beakers and fill them.

2.       Make up mixtures below

3.       Start reaction by adding I2.

4.       Measure time for colour of I2 to disappear.

Rate=kx

Water was added to keep the total volume constant, thus making it a fair test.

1.       Compare run 1&2, if the concentration of acid  is halved the rate is also halved.

2.       Compare run 1&4 for how the I2 changes the rate does not change (note: the rate actually increases, but that is because the iodine colour gets harder to notice, because there is less iodine).

3.       Compare runs 1&3 for how the propanone changes the rate of reaction-rate is halved if concentration is halved.

Overall

          r=k[H+]1[CH3COCH3]1[I2]0.

Overall order: Second.
