Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical teaching technology, specifically relating to an iodine clock reaction experimental teaching aid. Background Technology

[0002] The iodine clock reaction is a classic chemical reaction. By mixing a solution containing potassium iodate, hydrogen peroxide, starch, sulfuric acid, malonic acid, and manganese sulfate, a series of redox reactions are triggered, resulting in a periodic change in the solution's color over time. The iodine clock reaction is highly engaging due to its visually striking color changes and time-dependent nature, making it a popular and interesting component in chemistry teaching. However, preparing the iodine clock reaction solution is relatively complex. For short class periods, different solutions need to be prepared in advance. The teacher mixes the different solutions in class for students to observe. This method has the following drawbacks: 1. The three solutions need to be carried separately, along with empty bottles for demonstration, leading to inconvenience due to the large number of solutions required; 2. Students may spill solutions during the experiment, affecting the experimental results; 3. Traditional classroom experimental teaching needs a breakthrough to enhance its effectiveness. Therefore, it is essential to develop a portable, easy-to-operate, spill-resistant, and novel iodine clock reaction experimental teaching aid that is beneficial for classroom teaching. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an iodine clock reaction experimental teaching tool.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: It includes an outer shell, a first liquid storage chamber, a second liquid storage chamber, a third liquid storage chamber, a top rod, a pressure plate, a first sealing plug, a second sealing plug, and a drain valve. The outer shell extends through the front and rear and has an embedding hole. The outer shell is a closed structure and made of transparent material. Several partitions are provided in the upper part of the outer shell, forming independent and closed first, second, and third liquid storage chambers. Each of the first, second, and third liquid storage chambers has a liquid inlet at its rear, and each inlet is fitted with a first sealing plug. A top rod extends longitudinally through each of the first, second, and third liquid storage chambers. The upper ends of the three top rods are connected to the bottom of the pressure plate. A spring is fitted onto the top rod between the pressure plate and the top of the outer shell. A second sealing plug is provided at the lower end of each top rod, sealing the liquid outlet at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber. A drain valve is provided at the drain outlet at the bottom of the outer shell.

[0005] The first sealing plug and the second sealing plug can be common rubber plugs in the field, such as rubber plugs or silicone plugs, as long as they can seal and prevent leakage.

[0006] Preferably, the first, second, and third liquid storage tanks are arranged in a row, which makes it easier for students to observe the solutions in the three tanks.

[0007] Preferably, the bottoms of the first, second, and third liquid storage tanks are all frustoconical to facilitate liquid discharge.

[0008] Preferably, the watch is embedded in the embedding hole. The watch can be a common electronic watch or mechanical watch in the art, such as a mechanical stopwatch. As for the shape of the embedding hole, it can be determined according to the shape of the watch. For example, for a mechanical stopwatch, the embedding hole can be a round hole.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the pressure plate, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell, so that the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixed and slippage is prevented.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention stores different solutions for the iodine clock reaction separately, a process that can be completed before class. Due to its integrated, sealed structure, it is more convenient to carry, and in class, mixing different solutions requires only a single press, making it easy to operate. This process also allows student participation, preventing spills and reducing the difficulty for students. The interactive design helps stimulate students' interest in and desire to explore chemistry. This teaching aid combines the iodine clock reaction with a clock design, integrating chemical knowledge with fun. Its novel structure and strong intuitiveness facilitate students' observation of the iodine clock reaction process and recording of reaction time, helping to deepen student memory and improve teaching quality. The clock is detachable, and liquid can be drained through the drain valve for easy maintenance. Attached Figure Description
