Abstract

The study of kinetics using the iodine clock reaction has provided an interesting experience for students for many years. It sometimes proves frustrating for those preparing solutions for the laboratory because solutions that perform properly in one lab may degrade before other lab sections meet. This article describes a combination of solutions that can be used successfully for several weeks.
