Kaede Kawano                                 The Iodine Clock Reaction                                   Block C

Objectives:

1. To observe and record the effect of changing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of a reaction
2. To observe and record the effect of changing the temperature of a system on the rate of a reaction
3. To observe and record the effect of the nature of the reactants on the rate of a reaction
4. To observe and record the effect of a catalyst on the rate of a reaction
