In this experiment, spectrophotometry will be used to measure the rate of reaction by measuring the increasing absorbance of 430 nm light by I2, as concentration of iodine increases.1 The order of a chemical is the number by which the rate of the reaction exponentially increases with increasing concentration of the chemical, and it’s always a whole number. An order of 0 is assigned when there is no exponential increase with the increase in concentration of that chemical.2
A spectrophotometer will be used in this experiment to measure the absorbance at a λmax of 430 nm. This wavelength will be used because it’s the wavelength absorbed by iodine, a yellow liquid that absorbs violet light and reflects yellow light. A 1 cm cuvette will be used to contain the reaction solutions, which will be put into the spectrophotometer to record absorbance. 3 mL plastic pipettes will be used to measure and add solutions to beakers and to the cuvette. While not very accurate, these pipettes will allow for quick and convenient transfer of solutions.
In this experiment, the empirical equation rate = k[A]x[B]y[C]z will be determined by measuring the rates of the reaction FeCl3(aq) + KI(aq) → FeCL2(aq) + I2(aq) + KCl(aq), repeated 5 times. The equation M1V1 = M2V2 will be used to determine the concentrations of KI and FeCl3 added to the various reactions, where M1 is initial concentration, which is 0.02 M, V1 is initial volume of the chemicals, M2 is final concentration, and V2 is final volume, which is 4 mL. The absorbance and time of the reactions will be plotted on graphs, and their slopes will be used as the rate of the reactions. Then, the equation Rate A/RateB = k[KItrialA]x[FeCl3trialA]y/k[KItrialB]x[FeCl3trialB]y will be used to find the value ...

...his experiment, five reactions between KI and FeCl3 were performed using various volumes of KI and FeCl3, to measure their initial reaction rates using a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of I2, which was formed according to the reaction FeCl3(aq) + KI(aq) → FeCL2(aq) + I2(aq) + KCl(aq). The collected data was then used to determine the average reaction constant, and the empirical rate law of the equation.
The progress of the reaction was monitored by using a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of light of 430 nm wavelength, which increased as the amount of I2 increased. 430 nm was chosen as the observed wavelength because it’s the wavelength best absorbed by I2. I2 is a chemical that reflects yellow light, and hence appears yellow, and absorbs violet light, around the 430 nm wavelengths. The following graphs were generated from the recorded data:
Then, an amount of KI (solid) about a size that would fit on a match head was dissolved in 0.05 of Potassium Iodate solution and about 1 mL of water and 1 mL of 1 M HCl were added, which exhibited a weak positive test for IO_3^- (aq). After the weak positive test, an amount of KI (solid) about a size that would fit on a match head was dissolved in about 1 mL of water and 1 mL of 1 M HCl, which exhibited a negative
The complete experimental procedure is available in the General Chemistry Laboratory Manual for CSU Bakersfield, CHEM 213, pages 20-22, 24-25. Experimental data are recorded on the attached data pages.
Absorbance was defined as: log I_o/I where I_o is incident light and I is the transmitted light. Fluorescence emission spectrum is different from fluorescence excitation spectrum because it records different wavelengths of chemical s...
Input variables In this experiment there are two main factors that can affect the rate of the reaction. These key factors can change the rate of the reaction by either increasing it or decreasing it. These were considered and controlled so that they did not disrupt the success of the experiment. Temperature-
An elements¡¦ reaction to certain substances may be predicted by its placement on the Periodic Table of Elements. Across a period, an element on the left will react with more vigor than one on the right, of the same period. Vertically, as elements are sectioned into groups, the reaction of each element increases as you move down in the same group. With this in mind, the reactions of the substances involved in this experiment may be hypothesized, observed, and validated.
The Effect of Wavelength on Photosynthesis Rate Aim: To be able to To investigate how different wavelengths (colors) of light affect the photosynthetic rate of the synthetic. I will use a pant that is a pond weed called elodea. I will measure the rate of photosynthesis by measuring the amount of o2 given off in bubbles per minute from the elodea. I will do this by placing the Elodea in a test tube with sodium hydrogen. carbonate then I will vary the light wavelength (color) using colored.
2. In order to determine how fast a reaction is occurring there must be a basis for measurement. There must also be an indicator substances to determine the change that took place. Then there must be a tool to measure the change. In this lab a spectrophotometer was used. The ABS value is the actual value and it is used to determine the rate of change.

Photosynthesis is a widely studied topic among the world of science due to its importance for life and its many uses. Photosynthetic pigments reflect and absorb different wavelengths of visible light based off their polarity. In this experiment, we studied photosynthetic pigments, first, by determining polarity and then, by measuring the amount of light of a given wavelength that a pigment absorbs. We used two methods in this experiment, chromatography and spectrophotometry. For the first portion of our experiment we determined the distance each pigment migrated, their R_f values, and their polarity. Our predications based off polarity, lead to our hypothesis
However, in order to measure the rates of reaction, sodium thiosulphate and starch are added. Sodium thiosulphate is added to react with a certain amount of iodine as it is made. Without the thiosulphate, the solution would turn blue/black immediately, due to the iodine and starch. The thiosulphate ions allow the rate of reaction to be determined by delaying the reaction so that it is practical to measure the time it takes for the iodine to react with the thiosulphate. After the all the thiosulphate has reacted with the iodine, the free iodine displays a dark blue/black colour with the starch. If t is the time for the blue/black colour to appear, then 1/t is a measure of the initial rate.
An Experiment to Investigate the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis. Introduction Photosynthetics take place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells. It can produce simple sugars using carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is: [ IMAGE ] 6CO 2 + 6H20 C 6 H12 O 6 + 6O2 It has been proven many times that plants need light to be able to photosynthesize, so you can say that without light the plant would neither photosynthesize nor survive.
There are five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), pressure (in gases), surface area (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction. This is because it is the most practical way to investigate. Dealing with temperatures is a difficult task, especially when we have to keep constant high temperatures. Secondly, the rate equation and the constant k changes when the temperature of the reaction changes.
Investigating the Effects of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study and examination of chemical reactions regarding re-arrangement of atoms, reaction rates, effect of various variables, and more. Chemical reaction rates, are the rates of change in amounts or concentrations of either products or reactants. Concentration of solutions, surface area, catalysts, temperature and the nature of reactants are all factors that can influence the rate of reaction. Increasing the concentration of a solution allows the rate of reaction to increase because highly concentrated solutions have more molecules and as a result the molecules collide faster. Surface area also affects reaction rate because when the surface area of a reactant is increased, more particles are exposed to the other reactant.
