Procedure:

Making Solution A

First, obtain 10 mL of distilled water using a graduated cylinder, then pour into one 50 mL beaker. Next, obtain 0.100 g of sodium iodate (NaIO3) using a digital scale (0.104 g actually used). Then obtain 0.200 g of sulfamic acid (H3NSO3) using a digital scale (0.210 g actually used). Finally, add the sodium iodate into the beaker containing the distilled water followed by the addition of the sulfamic acid. Solution A is now complete.

Making Solution B

First, obtain 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2), then pour into a new 50 mL beaker. Next, obtain 0.200 g of malonic acid (CH2(COOH)2) using a digital scale (.204 g actually used). Then obtain a sample of manganese sulfate (MnSO4) equivalent to a grain of sand. Add the malonic acid into the beaker containing the 3% hydrogen peroxide, followed by the addition of the manganese sulfate sample. Finally, pour 1/4 teaspoon of starch power and gently mix everything together by swirling. Solution B is now complete.

Mixing Solution B and Solution A

Carefully swirl both solutions to help all solids dissolve into the solution. Make sure to pour Solution B into Solution A, then mix throughly.

Observations:

After swirling the resulting solution, it kept cycling through appearing as yellow and clear. However, there was constantly a small patch of blue residue caused by some undissolved starch powder. There was some gas formation during this process. After 5 minutes, we
