Iodine Clock

Aim

Investigate how the concentration of iodide ions affects the rate of the reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

Five experiments, varying the volume of B (aqueous KI) from 25 down to 5 cm³ with water making up to 25 cm³. Time until the mixture turns blue-black is measured. rate = 1000 / t.
