Abstract
We report the experimental measurement of a stochastic potential in a bistable chemical system, the iodate–arsenous acid reaction. The reaction, run in a continuous flow stirred tank reactor, is driven by a fluctuating reactant flow which causes the system to move randomly between the two stable steady states. We calculate the probability of the system being in a particular state, and the probability distributions depend on the average flow rate. The experimental results are in agreement with predictions of the Fokker–Planck equation.
