The instability that has prevented the advance preparation of large quantities of solutions for a reproducible iodine clock reaction has led to modifications by Conway (1), Alyea (2), Kauffman and Hall (3), and most recently, Mitchell (4). In our modification of the solutions originally proposed by Alyea (5), instead of adding the sulfuric acid to the
sodium sulfite-starch solution, we either added the acid to the potassium iodate solution or added it separately at the time of the demonstration as a third solution. In both cases, after standing for about a year in tightly closed containers, these solutions still produce instantaneous color changes.

| Chemistry Teacher Connection |
|
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.

| C&EN CLICs |
|
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
