1) The document describes two experiments involving oxidation-reduction reactions. The first experiment measured the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide over time. The second experiment measured the rate of a redox reaction between potassium iodide and persulfate ions.
2) Both experiments involved measuring the volume of gas produced over time to determine the amount of reactant consumed and the rate of reaction. Rate calculations were performed using the volume and time data.
3) Thermodynamic considerations and balanced chemical equations were provided to explain the redox reactions occurring in each experiment.
