    Title: Rate of Reaction

    Aim: To investigate how the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric
    acid changes as the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate solution is varied.

    Theory:
    When a solution of sodium thiosulphate (FA1) is mixed with hydrochloric acid (FA2) a reaction takes
    place and a fine suspension of solid sulphur is formed in the solution.

    Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCL (aq) >2 NaCl (aq) + S (s) + H2O (l)

    If a beaker containing the reaction mixture is placed over a marker, in this case an insert of printed
    text on a piece of paper, the sulphur as it forms slowly hides the marker from view. If the depth of
    solution in the beaker is kept constant, the marker will always disappear when the same amount of
    sulphur has been formed.

    Apparatus/Materials:

    Pipette, Pipette pump, Distilled water, Titration Flask, Hydrochloric acid, Starch, Measuring
    cylinders, Burette, Retort Stand, Stool, Tape, Pen, Funnel, Sodium Thiosulphate solution
    (Na2S2O3), Stopwatch

    Procedure:

    A 50 cm3 measuring cylinder was used to place 50.0cm3 of FA1 into a 250 cm3 conical
    flask. The outside of the conical flask was then dried and placed over the printed X on
    the white sheet. 5.0 cm3 of FA2 was also measured and poured into the same conical
    flask and at the same time, the stopwatch was started. The conical flask was then swirled
    to mix the solutions thoroughly before it was placed back over the mark. The white sheet
    was viewed from above and the stop watch was stopped when the printing could no
    longer be seen. The time for this to happen was recorded in a table. The conical flask
    when then emptied and rinsed, and the experiment was repeated but with different
    volumes of FA1 and water with FA2 remaining the same as shown in the table below.

    Results:

    Treatment of Results:

    1. Please see graphs attached

    2. How is the rate of reaction related to the concentration of sodium thiosulphate

    As the concentration of sodium thiosulphate decreases, the time taken for the text to
    disappear increases. The time taken for the text to disappear is an indication of the amount
    of product (sulphur) formed. Seeing that when the concentration of sodium thiosulphate
    decreases, it takes a longer time for product to be formed, this suggests that the rate of
    reaction decreases as the concentration of sodium thiosulphate decreases

    Conclusion:

    The rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid decreases
    as the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate solution is decreased.
