Write the chemical equations involved in this experiment and how that the rate of disappearance of [S2O8^2-] is proportional to
1 answer:
S₂O₈²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄
²⁻(aq)
2S₂O₃²⁻
(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq)
<u>Explanation:</u>
S₂O₈²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄
²⁻(aq)
To measure the rate of this reaction we must measure the rate of concentration change of one of the reactants or products. To do this, we will include (to the reacting S₂O₈
²⁻ and I⁻
i) a small amount of sodium thiosulfate, Na₂S₂O₃,
ii) some starch indicator.
The added Na₂S₂O₃ does not interfere with the rate of above reaction, but it does consume the I₂ as soon as it is formed.
2S₂O₃²⁻
(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻
(aq) + 2I⁻
(aq)
This reaction is much faster than the previous, so the conversion of I2 back to I⁻ is essentially instantaneous.

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.
The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.
Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
(at constant Pressure)
The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.
When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.
