Product Details

Mix two colorless solutions and watch as, after a few seconds, they suddenly change from colorless to dark blue. What an attention-getter! This kit allows you to quantitatively demonstrate the popular iodine-starch clock reaction. In each demonstration, the class records six sets of data comparing the effects of concentration, temperature and a catalyst on the measured rate. Students become actively involved by counting the number of seconds from the initial mixing of the solutions to the appearance of the blue color. Explore concepts of kinetics with this dramatic, engaging demonstration! Teacher Demonstration Notes included.

Concepts: Kinetics, catalysts, clock reactions.
Time Required: 25 minutes

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-4. Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
HS-PS3-3. Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
HS-PS1-5. Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
