E. Iodine Dem. 622-Tincture

Demonstration: Experiment developed by Raymond P. Garman.

To show: Oxide catalysis of chlorate decomposition.

To show:

Materials: (a) chlorates, IiC108, ;\!Ig(C10a)2. (b) Catalysts: Cr203, Whol, k.e30a, NiO, CuO, Pz03 As203. (c) Inerts: MgO, CaO, BaO, ZnO, Si02, BilO3. Cell H-3, splints, burner. DANGER: DO not use silver, lead, or ammonium salts.

Materials:

Procedure: Fill the two culture tubes of H-3 full of IIClO,. Project. Heat each cell equally until the RCIOa melts and bubbling occurs. Blow out the alcohol lamps, wait 10 sec for bubbling to cease, then drop in, simultaneously, a grain of oxide into each (see list above). Note which begins to bubble and evolve gas again, at this lower temperature. Remove H-3 and test (macro) by lowering a glowing splint into the gas in each tube to test for 02. (CARE: DO not lower into molten chlorate). Try all chlorates. Tabulate results. Observations: The oxides listed above as catalysts are effective on all three chlorates. References: MSEH, M., J..

Procedure: Project a culture tube in H-3. Drop in a few flakes of solid iodine. Now pour in 10 ml of ethanol. Let stand. Observations: The iodine can be seen diffusing into the ethanol to form a dark reddish-brown tincture. Dem. 623-Solubilities

To shotu:

of Iodine

The relative solubilities of iodine.

Materials: Iodine, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, IiIaq, cell C-3, test tubes. Procedure: (a) Shake large crystals of iodine with tubes half-full of water, and of IiI-aq respectively. Project immersed in water in C-3. (b) Shake large crystals of iodine with tubes half full of ICI-aq, alcohol, benzene. (c) Dissolve crystals of iodine in benzene. Quarterfill a test tube with the solution, add a quarterful of water and shake. Using a hypodermic needle, inject carbon tetrachloride into the middle of the water layer. Observations: (a) Iodine is not very soluble in water, but forms a dark solution (IiI,) with IiI-aq. (b) The darkness of the solutions shows the relative solubilities is alcohol > benzene > IiI-aq. (c) Three layers form, showing the relative solubilities in benzene (brown), water (very light brown), and carbon tetrachloride (violet). Dem. 624-Iodine
