The iodine clock reaction involves reacting a solution of hydrogen peroxide and sulfric acid with another?
solution containing potassium iodide, sodium thiosulfate, and starch. The reaction begins colourless but at a certain point the free triiodide concentration builds up, complexing with the starch molecules and producing a dark blue to almost black colour almost instantaneously.
Which of the following options will cause the blue colour to appear faster?
Increasing temperature
Increasing pH
Increasing starch concentration
Decreasing temperature
Increasing thiosulfate concentration

The amount of hydration of the protein doubles
The frictional coefficent of the protein doubles but the molecular weight is constant
The protein changes from an oblate ellipsoid to an prolate ellipsoid of the same axial ratio with nothing else changing

2 AnswersChemistry10 years agoA skunk in an large hall releases several sulfur containing compounds similar to butane thiol in its spray.?
Gas molecules can travel at hundreds of meters per second. Why does an unfortunate individual in this hall not detect the smell almost instantaneously?
1) Only a small fraction of the gas molecules move at hundreds of meters per second, too few to be detected immediately.
2) Dispersion interactions with other gas molecules slow them down substantially
3)The gas is denser than air and thus remains low on the ground where it isn't being detected.
4) Collisions with other gas molecules make the scent molecules movement erratic and inefficent
5)The scent molecules react with trace ozone in the air, only being detected once all the ozone in the immediate vicinity has been reacted with.
