Volumetric analysis is a quantitative analytical method which is used widely. As the name suggests, this method involves measurement of the volume of a solution whose concentration is known and applied to determine the concentration of the analyte.
Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is to be contrasted with thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a process occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate.

Reaction Kinetics: The Iodine Clock Reaction
Introduction
The “clock reaction” is a reaction famous for its dramatic colorless-to-blue color change, and is often
used in chemistry courses to explore the rate at which reactions take place. The color change occurs
when I2 reacts with starch to form a dark blue iodine/starch complex. The ability to record the time
at which the blue complex appears allows the rate of reaction to be determined accurately with a
stopwatch.
In this experiment, the rate law for a reaction is determined using the method of initial rates. The
effect of concentration on the rate of this reaction is determined by measuring the initial reaction rate
at several reactant concentrations. You will also examine the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate.
Lastly, you will investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of this reaction, which will allow
you to determine the activation energy.
The Clock Reaction
The primary reaction to be studied is the oxidation of the iodide ion by the bromate ion in aqueous
solution:
Equation 1
This reaction will be run in the presence of a known amount of S2O3
2-
(thiosulfate), which reacts
very rapidly with I2. As long as S2O3
2-
is present, I2 is consumed by S2O3
2-
as fast as it is formed.
This competing reaction prevents the I2 produced from our reaction of interest from reacting with
starch, so no color change is observed until the thiosulfate is completely used up. The "clock"
reaction is the reaction of a very small amount of S2O3
2-
(thiosulfate) with the I2 produced in the
primary reaction:
Equation 2
The “clock” reaction will signal when the primary reaction forms a specific amount of I2. The
amount of I2 formed before the color change can be calculated from the known amount of S2O3
2-
added using the molar ratio in Equation 2. To find the rate of Equation 1, the change in the
concentration of I2 is monitored over time. Below, [I2] is the change in the concentration of I2, and
t represents the change in time:
Equation 3
Recall that:
BC CHEM& 162
Lab Manual | Clock Reaction
Page 2 of 11
Equation 4
As soon as all of the S2O3
2-
ions have reacted, the I2 still being formed (Equation 1) starts to
accumulate and reacts with starch. Starch serves as an indicator to help us “see” the I2, since the
interaction between starch and I2 forms a blue starch-iodine complex. Thus, "∆t" is simply the time
elapsed between mixing the reagents and the appearance of the blue color. Because the S2O3
2-
ion
concentration in the reaction mixture is known, you can calculate "∆[I2]" using the stoichiometry of
the “clock” reaction. Since the same amount of S2O3
2-
should be added t.

From the beginning of this course, we have generally assumed that chemical reactions go to completion, that is,
the reaction proceeds in the forward direction until one of the reactants is completely used up. However, many
reactions do not go to completion and are able to move both in the forward and reverse directions simultaneously.
Such a reaction is called a reversible reaction. A double arrow in the chemical equation designates a reversible
reaction, as shown in Reaction 1:
aA + bB −−−⇀↽−−− cC + dD (Reaction 1)

D e t e r m i n a t i o n o f a n E q u i l i b r i u m C o n s t a n t
A reversible reaction has two reaction rates: a forward reaction rate, where the reactants A and B are consumed
andtheproductsCandDareproduced,andareversereactionrate,wheretheproductsCandDareconsumedand
thereactantsAandBareproduced. Allreversiblereactionseventuallyreachapointatwhichtheforwardreaction
rate equals the reverse reaction rate. This point is called equilibrium. At equilibrium, the concentration of
reactants and products do not change with time. It is important to remember that even though the concentration
of reactants and products do not change with time, the reaction has not stopped. Equilibrium is a dynamic state.
The state will persist as long as the reaction conditions remain constant.
A reaction at equilibrium follows the law of mass action which gives the relationship between concentrations
of the reactants and products at equilibrium. According to the law of mass action, the relationship between
concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium for the above reaction is given in Equation 1:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Reaction Rates and Activation Energy

Introduction
The purpose of this experiment is to study the rate properties of the following reaction:
6I–
(aq) + BrO3
–
(aq) + 6 H+
(aq) 3 I2(aq) + Br–
(aq) + 3 H2O(l) (1)
Its rate law can be written as:
Rate = k[I–
]m
[BrO3
–
]n
[H+
]p
The values of the rate constant, k, and reaction orders, m, n, p, will be calculated from measurements using
the “clock”
reaction:
I2(aq) + 2 S2O3
2–
(aq) 2 I–
(aq) + S4O6
2–
(aq)
Reaction (3) occurs simultaneously with reaction (1), but is much faster, almost instantaneous, compared
to reaction (1). Therefore the I2 produced in (1) is immediately removed by reaction with the thiosulfate,
S2O3
2–
, reaction (3), and the time required for a constant amount of S2O3
2–
to react with the iodine, can be
used as a measure of the rate of the reaction which produces the iodine, reaction (1). As soon as all of the
S2O3
2–
has reacted, the I2 concentration increases in solution and the starch indicator produces a blue
color. In all trials, the amount of S2O3
2–
is kept constant and small compared to the amounts of other
reactants. Therefore only relatively very small amounts of the reactants of (1) are used up before the
solution becomes blue, and the initial concentrations are used for calculations of the rate constant and the
rate orders using equation (2).
In the first part of the experiment, the trials are carried out at constant temperature (room temperature),
varying the concentrations of the reagents of reaction (1). From these values the rate orders and the rate
constant is calculated. In the second part, the concentrations of reagents are kept constant, but
measurements are made at various temperatures. Arrhenius equation gives:
ln k = –Ea/RT + constant
where T = temperature in Kelvin, R = the ideal gas constant, and Ea is the activation energy. Because the
concentrations of all reactants are essentially constant, the rate of the reaction is proportional to the rate
constant and the measured relative rate can be used in a modified Arrhenius equation:
ln (relative rate) = – Ea/RT + constant
The value of the activation energy, Ea, will be calculated from the slope of the graph of ln (relative rate) vs
1/T.

3. Experimental Procedure:
Part A:
Determination of the Rate Law – Dependence of Reaction Rate on Concentration
Equipment needed:
one 10-mL volumetric pipet (V-pipet)
two 10-mL graduated pipets (G-pipets)*
two thermometers
two graduated cylinders
*Note: When using graduated pipets fill to the 0mL mark, allow to drain to the final volume mark - do
NOT drain completely.
Regents:
Obtain about 100 mL of each of the reagents mentioned below in a clean, dry, labeled beaker or flask.
The regent volumes to be used for each trial are shown in the table below. Use the G-pipets to measure
KBrO3 and HCl solutions, the V-pipet to measure the S2O3
2–
solution, graduated cylinders to measure the
KI solution and water.
The regent volumes are given in the mL.

For each trial, mix the indicated regent volumes as follows: place the required amounts of KI and Na2S2O3
solutions, and water into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask (Reaction Flask I). Place the corresponding amounts
of KBrO3 and HCl solutions into a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask (Reaction Flask II). Add about ten drops of
starch indicator to Flask II.
When you are prepared to start timing the reaction, pour the contents of Flask II into Flask I. Swirl to mix
the solutions thoroughly. Record the time required for the blue color to appear in seconds. For Reaction
Mixture I at room temperature, this time should be in the range from 90 seconds to 150 seconds. Record
also the temperature of the final blue solution.
4. Discard the blue solution and rinse Flasks I and II. Repeat the procedure for the next trials. If time
permits after completing these five trials and Part B of the experiment, you may repeat any of the
measurements, but check that the temperature is the same for the whole set of Part A to within 0.5o
C.
Part B:
Determination of the Activation Energy – Dependence of the Reaction Rate on Temperature
In this part of the experiment, Reaction Mixture I will be used for all trials and the reaction rate will be
measured at three temperatures other than the room temperature.
Prepare solutions in Flask I and II for Reaction Mixture I as for Part A of the experiment, but before
mixing the contents of Flasks I and II, they need to be warmed or cooled to the required temperature. Use
the water baths available in the lab to cool Flask I and II to about 5o
C. Check, using your thermometer,
that both solutions are at about 5o
C, record the exact temperature, then mix the two solutions as before,
swirl and keep the flask with the reactants in the 5o
C water bath. Measure the time needed for the blue
color to appear. This will take considerably longer than at room temperature. Record the temperature of
the blue solution.
Discard the blue solution, rinse the flaks, and repeat the trial using the 35o
C and then the 45o
C water baths.
Use the time measured in Part A of the experiment for calculations at about 25o
C. In the calculations, use
the actual temperature measured.
5. Results and Calculations
A. Rate Constant and Order of the Reaction – the Rate Law
In all the reaction mixtures used in this experiment, the color change occurs when a constant amount of
thiosulfate, S2O3
2–
, had reacted with the I2 produced by the slow reaction (1). After that, the I2
concentration increased and changed the color of the starch indicator to blue. The amount of I2 produced
by reaction (1) is proportional to the amount of BrO3
–
consumed, thus, t, the time measured, is the time
required for a fixed number of moles of BrO3

Where t is the time required for the blue color to appear. In the following calculations only the relative

then becomes

Note that the reactant concentrations in the Reaction Mixtures are not the same as the initial
concentrations of the stock solutions because all have been diluted by the presence of other solutions. All
final volumes of the Reaction Mixtures are 50.0 mL. The actual reactant concentrations must be
calculated as follows, for example, for the I–
ion.
[I–
]stock x Vstock = [I–
]mixture x Vmixture
where Vmixture = 50.0 mL for all mixtures, for Reaction Mixture 1, [I–
]stock = 0.010 mol/L, Vstock = 10.0 mL.
Therefore,
(5)
6. Mmixture = 0.010 mol/L x 10.0 mL/50.0 mL = 0.0020 mol/L
As shown for Reaction Mixture 1 in the table.
Calculate the rest of the reactant concentrations to complete the table.
To obtain the values of m, n, and p, the orders of the reactants, use the ratios of the measured relative rates
in such a way that the concentrations of some reactants cancel out and the required values are obtained
from equations which only have one unknown value.
Substitute the relative rate and concentration values of Reaction Mixtures 1 and 2 from the table into
equation (5).
Relative rate 1 = __________ = k’( )m

Relative rate 2 = __________ = k’( )m

Calculate the value of m to three figures, then round it to the nearest integer value:
m = _____________, nearest integer = ___
Similarly calculate the value of n from the results of Reaction Mixtures 1 and 3,
n = _____________, nearest integer = ___
and value of p from the results of Reaction Mixtures 1 and 4.
p = _____________, nearest integer = ___
Using the integer values of m, n, and p and equation (5), calculate the relative rate constant, k’, for
Reaction Mixtures 1 to 4.

Use the concentration values in the table. Compare the predicted and actually observed times.
Relative ratepredicted ____________ tpredicted ___________ tobserved _______________
Write the Rate law as you have determined it to be for reaction (1) in your laboratory notebook.
Part B:
Activation Energy – the Effect of Temperature on the Reaction Rate
For the relative rate constant, k’, Arrhenius equation (4) becomes
ln k’ = – Ea/RT + constant
Because all trials for this part of the experiment used the same reactant concentrations (Reaction Mixture
1), according to equation (5), k’ is proportional to the relative rate and equation (6) becomes
ln (relative rate) = – Ea/RT + constant
Equation (7) shows that a plot of ln(relative rate) vs 1/T is expected to be a straight line with
slope = – Ea/R
The ideal gas constant, R, is 8.314 joules/mol-K.

Record the temperature of the solutions. For Part 1 the temperature should remain within a 0.5o
C range.
Add Flask #2 Flask #1
Count the seconds until the solution turns blue
For part 1 you will calculate:
a. the orders with respect to I–
, BrO3
–
, and H+
.
b. the rate constant, k, from run 1, 2, 3, 4, and the average rate constant
c. the rate law
d. then, using the average k, predict the relative rate and time for run #5
Part #2 Temperature runs
1. For all runs use Reaction Mixture #1
2. You can use your results from run 1 in Part #1 for the room temperature data.
3. The solutions in flask #1 and flask #2 must reach the temperature of the water bath
before mixing. Keep the mixture in the water bath until the solution turns blue.
4. The temperature of the run is the temperature of the water bath.
5. For the cold temperature bath record the time when the solution first turns blue (This will
be a light color blue initially).
In part #2 you will plot ln(RR) versus 1/T(K). From the slope you will calculate the activation energy.
