Goal: In this experiment, we study the kinetics of the reaction between persulfate S2O82- and iodide I- ions with the goals of:
1) Determine the experimental rate law,
2) Propose a mechanism consistent with the experimental rate law, and
3) Determine the activation energy and Arrhenius constant for the reaction.
