Objective The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with the ability to reproduce an experiment several times. Experimental Materials 1 x Magnetic Stirring Bar (yellow) 2 x 100 mL Flask 8 x 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask Magnetic Hotplate Glass Stirring rod Distilled water Pipet (with Pump handle) Starch 0.20M Ammonium Persulfate (NH4)2S2O8 0.20M Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2S2O4 0.20M Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) 0.20M Potassium Iodide (KI) 1.2 x 10-2M Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) Experimental Method 1. All materials were obtained from the classroom. 2. The flasks were thoroughly cleaned with distilled water. 3. Samples of the Ammonium Persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8), Potassium Iodide (KI), Ammonium Sulfate ((NH4)2S2O4), Potassium Nitrate (KNO3), Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), and Starch were placed in separate Erlenmeyer flasks. 4. Each flask was labeled according to its content (i.e. ammonium persulfate, potassium nitrate, starch, etc.) 5. The 100 mL flasks were labeled A and B. 6. 1.0 mL of Starch, 2.0 mL of Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), and 4.0 mL of Potassium Iodide (KI) were added to flask A. 7. 4.0 mL of Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) and 8.0 mL of Ammonium Persulfate (NH4)2S2O8) was added to flask B. 8. The flask B compound was added to flask A. 9. The magnetic stirring bar was placed in flask A. 10. Flask A was set on the hotplate. The dial on the hotplate was set to level 5. 11. The chemicals were allowed to mix until a reaction occurred. All results were recorded. 12. Once the steps were recorded, flasks A and B were emptied, rinsed and dried thoroughly. 13. Steps 6 through 12 were repeated and all results were recorded. 14. Step 6 was repeated. 15. 4.0 mL of Potassium Nitrate, 4.0 mL of Ammonium Persulfate, and 4.0 mL of Ammonium Sulfate was added to flask B. 16. Flask B was
