avaned Rachid CILPAC IF Grams) — There + eshdish (Publisred by Tohn EXPERIMENT 44 i Moreau.) A-bromine ‘clock! reaction Ain The purpose of this experiment is to doterivine the’ rate equation for the reaction between bromids and bromate(Y) ions in-aqueous solution, Introduction Bromide and bromate(V) dons in acid solution react according to the equation: 58r“(aq) + BrOs"(aq) + SH*(aq) > 3Brz(aq) + SH20(1)+ 2) in order to follow the reaction, two other substences ere added to the ! reaction mixture. (a) A precisely known, snall amount of phenol. This reacts immedietely with the bromine produced, removing it from solution 3er,(aq) + CgHsOHfeq) > CgHaBrs0H(aq) + 3H*Caq) + SBr~(eq)....++++{2) (b) Methyl orange solution, which is bleached colourless by free bromine: er,(aq) * methyl orange + bleached methyl orange. ..+.+ Reta (acid form: pink) (colourless) As soon as oll the phenol has reacted with bromine produced in reaction (1), free bromine will appear in solution and bleach the methy? Grange. If the time taken for the methyl orange solution to be bleached is t, then the rate of reaction (1) is proportional to 1/%. a tn the experiment youstudy the effect on the rate of reaction (1) of varying the concentration of bromide ions, bromate (V) ions, and hydrogen’ ions in turn, with the concentrations of the others held constant. To save time, you could Gooperate with other students and pooi your results.

For'edch part of the experiment, plot a graph of 1/é against volume of the reactant under consideration, 1/é is proportional to the rate of reaction and the volume of reactant is proportional to the concentration, since the total volume is constant. 2.° Deduce from each graph whether or not the reaction is first order with respect to the reactant~under consideration. 3. If you think the reaction is not first order, plet ‘another graph, as Questions 1 2. 3. explained below.
