Iodine Clock Lab
Iodine Clock reactions are fun to investigate because the color change is very sudden and can be timed. In this lab you will be using a simulation at the following link:
http://web.mst.edu/~gbert/IClock/Clock.html
This simulation was made by Professor Gary L. Bertrand from the University of Missouri- Rolla. I Have chosen to use it because it allows you to set reaction conditions and you must record time for color to change just as you would in person!
What is expected of you?
You will complete the Iodine Clock lab by completing the attached Lab Directions and Reports.

You will:
Use simulations to determine reaction times,
Use a laboratory notebook to record data
Complete lab report by printing out sheets and doing calculations by hand to determine the rate law and rate constant
Use Excel to create an Arrhenius Plot and then use slope to determine the activation energy
Draw a Potential Energy Diagram for this reaction given your found rate law and activation energy.
