Determining activation energy (Ea) of a reaction © KCl http://hk.geocities.com/fatherofchemistry Objective To determine the activation energy for the reduction of peroxodisulphate(VI) ions. S2O82-‚ by iodide ions I-‚ using a ’clock’ reaction. Principle The equation for reduction of S2O82- by I- is: S2O82- + 2I- → 2SO42- + I2 The formation of iodine is ’monitored’ by small & known amount of thiosulphate ions‚ S2O32-:

effect of temperature on the rate and use the results to find the activation enthalpy for this particular reaction. Background detail The Reaction:2 The reaction I am studying is often referred to as an iodine clock reaction.’ A clock reaction is where the time taken to form a definite‚ small amount of a product at the beginning of a reaction is recorded to work out the rate. This reaction involves the oxidation of iodide ions to iodine molecules which are soluble in water and are visible

PLANNING Investigating the Kinetics of the reaction between Iodide ions and Peroxodisulphate (VI) ions By the use of an Iodine clock reaction I hope to obtain the length of time taken for Iodine ions (in potassium iodide) to react fully with Peroxodisulphate ions (in potassium Peroxodisulphate). I will do three sets of experiments changing first the concentration of iodide ions‚ then the concentration of Peroxodisulphate ions and finally the temperature of the solution in which the reaction is

The glass transition activation energy‚ Et‚ is among the important characteristic parameters of the glasses. Et is defined as the amount of energy absorbed by a group of atoms in the glassy region and therefore‚ a jump from one metastable state to another is possible. In addition‚ the activation energy of glass transition can be obtained as a function of the glass transition temperature‚ Tg‚ using the second approach proposed by Kissinger [26]:

Experiment 14 Topic Purpose Procedure : Qualitative analysis : To determine the cations and anions of inorganic substances : (a) Solids KA1 and KA2 are simple salts. Carry out the following experiments with solid KA1 to identify its cation and anion. (b) You are then required to carry out a few experiments to identify the cation and anion present in solid KA2. In all the experiments‚ the reagent should be added gradually until no further change is observed. Deduce what you can about KA1 and KA2.

Determination of the activation energy of an enzyme catalysed reaction Introduction In this practical the aim for this experiment was to find out the catalytic power of alkaline phosphate‚ as well as the rate of reaction and the activation energy of p-nitrophenol phosphate. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyse a chemical reaction. ‘Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction making it easier to proceed’ [1]. This allows molecules to have more energy therefore it
