DATA ANAYLSIS

1. What was the role of iodine, acetone, and hydrochloric acid in the iodination reaction?

2. a) How many reactions were performed and which reactant concentrations did you vary in these
reactions?
b) Why did you vary these concentrations?

3. a) What is the order of reaction with respect to the concentration of each reactant (acetone, hydrochloric acid and iodine)?
b) What happened to the reaction rate when the concentration of acetone was doubled?

4. Using your given data set for mixture 4 and result of your data and calculations section, you were asked to determine the rate of a fifth reaction mixture made up in the following way:

5 mL 4 M acetone + 5 mL 1 M HCl + 15 mL 0.005 M Iodine
How long (in seconds) will it take for the Iodine color to disappear at the same temperature of your Mixture 4?
