How to prepare the Iodine Clock Reaction

NileRed - 2014-05-01

This is an interesting reaction where two clear solutions are mixed, then after a period of time a sudden and drastic color change occurs.

I used the guide found at this link: http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-chemistry/iodine-clock-reaction

Don't do this trick on a friend if it is their water... They could drink the "water"...

"Now mix it thoroughly" (stirs it once) lmaooo

I think it would be tremendously interesting to see this reaction teamed up with The Slow Mo Guys - seeing the color change in the solution at maybe 1,000 or 10,000 fps, and how it spreads - does it occur simultaneously more places in the fluid, or just spread out from one place?

at the first changing to dark blue, i thaught, it´s a video-cut...

@nilered I was wondering why must the starch be wet before adding the boiling water. Is there a specific reason?

Shame you didn't show to cycling back to clear. That's the best bit!

NileRed - 2015-05-28

@Haydon Mort Iodine clock doesn't go back!

I think you were taking about the Briggs-Rauscher reaction :)

@NileRed this reaction can be backed by adding few drops of sodium thiosulphate into one beaker and this into it

dodge lol - 2018-11-14

how about do the potassium permanganate + NaOH + sachrose

The Wild Hooligan - 2021-02-19

he sounds so different

TheChemistryShack - 2014-11-27

Why doesn't the thiosulfate just reduce all of the H2O2?

Can the glacial acetic acid be substituted?

thats how religions get started.
