In aqueous solution, persulfate ions, S₂O₈²⁻, react with iodide ions, as shown in reaction 1. reaction 1 S₂O₈²⁻ + 2I⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + I₂ The rate of reaction 1 is investigated. A sample of S₂O₈²⁻ is mixed with a large excess of iodide ions of known concentration. The graph in Fig. 5.1 shows the results obtained. [Figure 5.1]
