The iodide ions are oxidised to iodine. 2Fe3+(aq) + 2I– (aq) → 2Fe2+(aq) + I2(aq) The rate of this reaction can be investigated by using starch indicator, which turns blue-black in the presence of iodine. Sodium thiosulfate is added to the reaction mixture to react with iodine as it is formed. The blue-black colour is seen when all the thiosulfate has reacted. I2(aq) + 2S2O32–(aq) → 2I–(aq) + S4O62–(aq) You will investigate how the rate of reaction is affected by changing the concentration of the iodide ions. FA 1 is 0.050 mol dm‒3 potassium iodide, KI. FA 2 is 0.050 mol dm‒3 acidified iron(III) chloride, FeCl3. FA 3 is 0.0050 mol dm‒3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. FA 4 is starch indicator. (a) Experiment 1 1. Use the burette labelled FA 1 to transfer 10.00 cm3 of FA 1 into a 250 cm3 conical flask. 2. Use a 25 cm3 measuring cylinder to transfer 10 cm3 of deionised water into the conical flask. 3. Use the burette labelled FA 3 to transfer 20.00 cm 3 of FA 3 and a 50 cm 3 measuring cylinder to transfer 10 cm3 of FA 4 to the same conical flask. 4. Use a 10 cm3 measuring cylinder to measure 10 cm3 of FA 2. 5. Add this FA 2 into the same conical flask and start timing immediately. 6. Swirl the mixture once and
