1.
What is the concentration of KI at the point of mixing when 20.0 mL of 0.0400 M KI are mixed
with 20.0 mL of 0.0600 M (NH

)2S2O
8
and 10.0 mL of 7.00 x 10
-4
M Na2S2O3?
Answer: 0.0160 M.
2.
What would happen if the S2O3²
-
were accidentally left out of a run?
Answer: Reaction (5) will not occur. What would you see?
3.
How does the iodide ion concentration in this experiment change before the blue color appears?
Why?
Answer: No change.
4.
What are the two requirements that have to be satisfied in proposing a reaction mechanism?
Answer: See page T-6
5.
What is a rate-determining step?
Answer: The slowest step in reaction mechanism
