Introduction:
Investigations into the mechanics of chemical kinetics can reveal invaluable information relating to the rates of reaction. There are numerable applications of reaction rates, knowledge in this area is pivotal for industrial, commercial and research sectors. Thus, allowing them the ability to manipulate a variety of factors of chemical reactions with the use of reaction rates. In the scope of the kinetics of clock reactions, there is a range of information that can be obtained about reaction rates (Shakhashiri, 1992).
A clock reaction is characterised by an abrupt colour change following an established time lag (Lente et al, 2007). The induction period in a clock reaction is a result of low concentrations of the clock chemical (i.e. the chemical that enables the final reaction). The induction period ends after the total consumption of a limiting reagent, which initiates a short increase in the rate of product formation, resulting in a visible colour change (Schmitz, 2010)(Lente et al, 2007). The reaction rate of clock reactions is subject to factors including temperature, concentration, catalysis and inhibition. These factors can be manipulated, thus changing the length of the induction period in a ‘clock-like’ manner (Shakhashiri, 1992).
Changes in the rate of reaction can be described in terms of chemical equilibrium. “Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the forward and reverse reactions take place at the same rate” (Wilbraham et al, 2002). The

David Brooks, an American writer attend The College of Chicago, he then went on to be a film critic for The Washington Times, then an editor for The Wall Street Journal, he is also a contributor to The Atlantic Monthly, and he is now a columnist for The New York Times and a commentator on PBS NewsHour. Brooks wrote a response to Coates’ Between the World and Me (2015) from the perspective of a white male published in The New York Times. “Listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates While White” (2015) is Brooks response to Coates which outlines Brooks’ concerns with the generalization Coates makes about the American Dream. Brooks critiques Coates’ dismissal of the American Dream as something unattainable for people who are not white.

Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction, 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L), and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1, and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol.
Chemical Kinetics of Crystal Violet At Different Temperatures and Concentrations. Introduction Kinetics is the study of rates of chemical reactions. This type of reaction happens in our everyday life, throughout our bodies, food and in nature. Such factors such as concentration, temperature, nature of reactants and if there is a catalysis present can determine how slow or how fast chemical reactions proceed from reactants to products. The rate law of a chemical reaction displays the relationship between the rate of the reaction and the concentration of the reactants.
Chemical kinetics involves the examination of reaction rates, which are the speeds of chemical reactions. There are chemical reactions which proceed in long periods of time as well as chemical reactions proceeding in short periods of time. Regarding reaction rates, the reaction order and kinetic rate constant are considered.
Clock reactions are among the most visually entertaining demonstrations of chemistry. Simply put, a clock reaction is one where two substances are mixed and there is a time delay where there is no visually discernable change in the system. During this delay, one of the chemical species, the clock chemical, has a very low concentration. The end of this induction period is marked by a rapid increase in concentration of the clock chemical (S.J. Preece et al., 1999). This rapid increase in concentration is what triggers effects such as a sudden colour change.
On day 2, the experimentally determined rate law for this reaction was found to be:
Chemical reactions occur every day almost continuously, both in the natural world outside as well as inside living organisms. These reactions occur at varying speeds, but are usually considerably slow. Some reactions can take as long as seven years for the molecules to undergo the reaction process (Berenbaum 153-154). However, with the presence of an enzyme in the reaction, this process speeds up considerably. A reaction that takes seven years to complete, now takes less than a second to finish (Berenbaum 154). With the help of these enzymes, chemical reactions are sped up to where they are able to help with the natural processes of the world.
Chemical kinetics involving reaction rates and mechanisms is an essential part of our daily life in the modern world. It helps us understand whether particular reactions are favorable and how to save time or prolong time during each reaction. Experiment demonstrated the how concentration, temperature and presence of a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction. 5 runs of dilution and reaction were made to show the effect of concentration on chemical reactions. A certain run from the previous task was twice duplicated to for a “hot and cold” test for reaction rate. The prior run was again duplicated for a test with
III. Hypothesis: If enzymes are allowed more time to catalyze chemical reactions, they will have a higher the rate of reaction.
To determine what factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction and to make predictions based on these
Reaction kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions. From these chemical mechanisms, one derives the rate laws which will show how fast or slow a reaction is occuring and figure out if a first order or a second order reaction is occuring (1). The first order reaction is an SN1 reaction. A first order reaction has a rate proportional to the concentration of one reaction. A first order reaction formula will be :
In order to measure rate the change in concentration in a particular reaction must be determined as well as the time of which this occurred. However studying the concentration at any time during a reaction is problematic since the reaction must be stopped and a sample must be removed both which negatively affect accuracy. One class of reactions that enables the change in concentration to be observed at a particular time is clock reactions. Ina clock reaction an initial induction phase precedes a significant change in concentration of a particular species. (Preece, King, Billingham, 1999). The rapid increase in concentration results in significant effects such as dramatic color change. There are two types of clock reaction: 1. Induction where as small concentration grows till it results in
A clock reaction is a chemical reaction during which one of the chemical species, the clock chemical, has a low concentration for a certain time before a rapid increase in its concentration marks the end of the induction period. This accelerated growth can produce effects such as sudden dramatic colour changes in solution phase reactions (Preece, Billingham & King, 1999). The Landolt Iodine Clock Reaction is a well-known example and can be described by the following processes: IO3-(aq) + 3 HSO3-(aq) → I-(aq) + 3 SO42-(aq)
