Therefore we filled it with 10 cm 3 of sodium thiosulphate, 5 cm 3 of hydrochloric acid, 5 cm 3 of
water. Therefore instead of using a pipette, we are going to use a measuring cylinder. Rate of
Reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Dilute Hydrochloric acid. This is because I Will be able
to do a full set of results within an hour (This is my given time period) I chose to do both 10cm. It is
at (37,4.27) however this result should not really be counted because when this reading was taken
the beaker which I poured the two chemicals into was not the same as I had used for the previous
readings because it had been mislaid. Once this is done I will repeat the same idea but instead of
having 50cm. The fact that there are more collisions taking place in the same amount time, it means
that the rate of reaction will have increased. It is more accurate compared to a beaker or measuring
cylinder. The chemical equation for this experiment should look like this. The positive correlation of
my graphs also shows this, once again as I explained before. They both show time against
concentration and are both done in a way so that there is a line of best fit. So in order to predict what
the graph should like I must work out which these affects the graph the most however I cannot tell
which factor has the greatest affect upon the data the only way to tell would be to carry out further
work. I believe that the method which was used in the experiment was not very accurate. The
diagram below helps to understand this concept slightly more. The results tell us that, as the
concentration of sodium thiosulphate decreases, the rate of reaction decreases. Collisions will
happen less often and they would have less energy because they have further to travel. If the
colliding particles have less than the activation energy, the particles just bounce off each other and
no reaction occurs. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare
Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. This means that it takes less time for the cross to disappear,
when the concentration of sodium thiosulphate is higher. However it does not rise proportionality to
the temperature. I have chosen to vary the concentration because it is more practical to investigate, as
it would take longer to prepare if I varied the temperature of the reactants and also it is much more
difficult to obtain a desired temperature of a reactant, which will produce less accurate results. I will
keep this variable constant so that it does not affect the results by avoiding heating the sodium
thiosulphate in any way, and so it will stay at room temperature. Collisions will happen less often and
they would have less energy because they have further to travel. This would obviously play quite a
serious part in the experimental error side and therefore should be measured as accurately as
possible. Fast moving particles are more likely to react when they collide. However there is another
factor which will also alter the graphs shape. I will keep this variable constant by using the same
conical flask for each experiment. This will accurately show the effect of concentration on the rate of
reaction. These two factors each affect the graph in the opposite way. When the mixture has become
opaque, or when the cross underneath the flask isn’t visible any longer, I will stop the clock and
record how long it has taken to reach this stage.
If the colliding particles have less than the activation energy, the particles just bounce off each other
and no reaction occurs. However after that particular reading I managed to find the beaker which I
had used before but unfortunately I did not have enough time to retake that the reading but I am
confident that if I did retake it, it would fit in with the line of best fit on the graph. From this, I can
speculate that the experiment was conducted well, and that the results have only been affected by
other variables by little or no amount. I have found from preliminary tests that these concentrations
react at rates which I can measure quite accurately with the equipment I have. Rate of Reaction -
Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Everything went to plan, there were no problems. I
could have made the experiment better by using better and more exact measuring cylinders. I predict
that as you increase the concentration of sodium thiosulphate; the solid sulphur will be produced
more quickly and there will be less time before the cross can be seen. A catalyst is usually a transition
metal, a transition metal oxide or an enzyme in living cells. Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate
and Hydrochloric Acid Coursework. Knowing whether or not the reaction has stopped could be
determined by light. Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. For this
experiment every interval of 0.2M concentrations of sulphuric acid are measured. I believe that
perhaps this was caused by a change in another variable I remember I had wash out the flash with
hot water and so the partials had more energy and collide more to speed up the reaction time. Next I
will determine the rate of each reactant at each given concentration for either reactant. I did though
in fact record the solutions as precisely as I could and under the supervision of my partner whilst
carrying out the experiment. Despite all of these flaws in the experiment I still believe that the results
do support my conclusion and that the graph itself is relatively accurate. I predict this because as a
precipitate is being formed I think that the amount of energy needed to break the bonds will be less
than the energy needed to make the new bonds. I have also plotted them onto a graph (see below) so
that the trend can be seen more easily. In most cases, the catalyst is used to make a reaction go
faster. All the other set of results are more accurate, and the closer together they are, the more
reliable they are. A catalyst is usually a transition metal, a transition metal oxide or an enzyme in
living cells. Investigating the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochl. This means
that it takes less time for the cross to disappear, when the concentration of sodium thiosulphate is
higher. I will also have to label the beakers in case I mix them up. You can also see that the line does
not go through the origin this is because the two chemicals are both still liquid at zero degrees this
means that particles are still colliding causing a slow reaction to take place because the particles are
colliding with little energy. Under the conical flask will be a piece of card with a large X on it. Rate
of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. By using the burette, we were able to
measure precise volumes of the various solutions. They both show time against concentration and are
both done in a way so that there is a line of best fit. The rate of reaction could seriously be affected
by what seems such an insignificant piece of data error.
The solid sulphur which forms in the solution causes the water to look cloudy. I justified my
prediction and gained the results expected. Investigating the Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate
and. We decided that we would change the concentration of one solution and not investigate the
effect of temperature on the rate of reaction. We could also what the effect of changing the
hydrochloric acid is, in a full investigation, although according to the preliminary experiment, it
shouldn’t make much of a difference. But it is not possible all the time to receive such high tech
equipment and the facility was not available for use for the whole class. So in order to predict what
the graph should like I must work out which these affects the graph the most however I cannot tell
which factor has the greatest affect upon the data the only way to tell would be to carry out further
work. I have used pipettes instead of measuring cylinders to increase the accuracy of the amount of
substances measured out and I have also increased the accuracy of the temperature reading taken as
well. Once these set of results are collected and the equipment has been thoroughly washed through,
I will repeat the experiment in aid for my evaluation and conclusion. What affects the rate of reaction
between dilute hydrochloric acid and sodi. I believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient to
support the conclusion that as the temperature increases the rate of reactions also increases. However
I have spotted an anomaly which shows up obviously on my graph. The rate of a reaction can be
measured by measuring the rate that a reactant is used. If you look at the graph with is on the
separate sheet of paper you will see that the first two readings it took were nearly in a horizontal line.
This is temperature because I found that when the chemicals were cooled below room temperature
the resulting temperature after the reaction had taken place would be slightly higher than what I
started with. Investigate the rate of the reaction between aqueous sodium thiosulphate an. There are
several ways in which you can make the particle move quicker. These readings would make the graph
slightly steeper than it should be. It is more accurate compared to a beaker or measuring cylinder. In
order to cool the chemicals ice would be applied round the side of the beaker this would hopefully
help cool it. Investigating the Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate and. The collision theory
states that reacting particles factors, which will affect the rate of a reaction. Both of the graphs show
that the set of results were almost identical as the graphs look almost identical except for on both of
the graphs there are two points that do not quite fit maybe due to experimental error but are
relatively close and have no real affect on the graphs. Rates of reaction in a sodium thiosulphate and
hydrochloric acid solution. This was explained by my attempt in the collision theory of molecules. Or
possible the concentration of the chemicals could be increased this would cause there to be more
particles in the chemicals and therefore more collisions occurring. The one anomaly which occurred
can easily be accounted for and I do heavily believe if that reading was retaken it would fit with the
trend of the rest of the data. I have chosen to vary the concentration because it is more practical to
investigate, as it would take longer to prepare if I varied the temperature of the reactants and also it
is much more difficult to obtain a desired temperature of a reactant, which will produce less accurate
results. My background knowledge on this particular part is not to good but instead of using my own
personal eyes so that I can time how long it takes for the cross (as explained before) to disappear
underneath the conical flask, I would use a photo electric cell and a light sensor. I also wanted to
find out what amount of acid would be suitable for the experiment.
