Black Magic Water! (Iodine Clock Reaction)

Показать описание
Introduction:

This black magic reaction is very funny. As the reaction is so quick, you can see the colourless water suddenly turn black. This reaction is also called Landolt clock reaction

Procedure:

The following two solution are prepared separately and then mixed it together.

Solution A: 0.38g sodium metabisulphite + 0.6g starch to 80ml water

Solution B: 1.4 g potassium iodate to 200ml water.

As starch and potassium iodate is difficult to dissolved in water, it is suggested to use hot water instead of cold water. After mixing two solutions, it will turn to black after 13s.

Notes:

1. More the potassium iodate, faster reaction to turn black

2. It is suggested to clean the breaker at once after the experiment

3. There is another recipe using potassium iodide instead potassium iodate, but the procedure is more complex and more difficult to control the reaction timing

This reaction is so fast, if it were a car it would get a speeding ticket!

For those who are wondering what the experiment was with turning the water black - Iodine Clock Reaction

40ml water + 0.6 gm starch + 0.5 gm sodium metabisulphite 60ml water + 1.4 gm potassium iodate

I wonder if this reaction would happen while on movement. Have you ever thought about putting it in one of those homemade water fountain for cats and see what happens?

The chemical effect takes much longer time to react after staying for over 3 hours

is there any substitute for sodium metabisulphite?

And u said “the more potassium iodate the faster water turns into black”
Is the potassium iodate has to be the exact amount or the weight can be adjusted to facilitate the chemical reaction?

Can I put them into the fridge to cool down?

If I want the solution reacts in 15 s even staying for more then 3 hours should I put more potassium iodate in the recipe?

I decreased the amount of starch and potassium iodate then made them into two solution, it reacted in 10s after I mixed them together right away, but when I did on the second try I stayed the solution for an hour and the water turns to black took so long

What if I wanna extend the chemical reaction to 1 min what’s the amount of chemical components I have to use?

Is that any solution to make the solution clear

And how to weight 0.38g with a scale? My scale just only can weight the mass at least 0.5g!!!

And is it critical that the both solutions have to be cooled down to room temperature?

What if I want the water change to black right away how can I do

Are the two solutions have to be exactly cooled down to the room temperature?

Can I use filter paper to make the solution much clearer ?
