Prelab assignment questions are in the lab manual. If needed, modify this form (i.e. include sample calculations and answers to all questions or remove
sample calculations portion if no sample calculations are required).

Prelab assignment #1 sample calculations:

KI concentration
Trial 1 and 4-7: 0.1*10/(10+5+15)=1/30
Trial 2: 0.2*20/30=2/15
Trial 3: 0.1*5/30=1/60
H2O2 concentration
Trial 1-3 and 6-7: 1.5*5/30=1/4
Trial 4 3*5/30=1/2
Trial 5 0.75*5/30= 1/8
Answers to prelab assignment #1:
the KI concentration for trial 1 and 4-7 is 1/30, for trial 2 is 2/30 and for trial 3 is 1/60
the H2O2 concentration for trial 1-3 and 6-7 is 1/4, for trial 4 is 1/2 and for trial 5 is 1/8
Prelab assignment #2 sample calculations:
-Ea/R=-8170
Ea= -8170*8.314*10^-3=67.93 kJ/mol

Answers to prelab assignment #2:

The activation energy is 67.93 kJ/mol
