Title: Factors affecting the rate of reaction. (Concentration)

Problem Statement: Does the concentration of reactants affect the rate of reaction?

Aim: To study how the concentration of reactants affect the rate of reaction.

Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of reactants, the higher the rate of reaction.

Variables:
(a) Manipulated: Concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution.
(b) Responding: Time taken until ‘X’ is not visible
(c) Constant: Volume of sulphuric acid

Apparatus and Material:


Sodium thiosulphate solution(0.05 mol dm-3, 0.10 mol dm-3, 0.15 mol dm-3, 0.20 mol dm-3,
0.25 mol dm-3), 1 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid, white paper with a cross ‘X’ in the middle,
conical flask, measuring cylinder, and stopwatch.

Procedure:
1. 50cm3 of 0.05 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate solution is measured and poured into a
conical flask.

2. The conical flask is placed on a white paper with the mark ‘X’.

3. 5cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid is poured into the sodium thiosulphate solution and
start the stopwatch simultaneously.

4. The cross mark ‘X’ is observed from the top of the conical flask.
5. The time taken for the cross mark ‘X’ to disappear is recorded.

6. Steps 1 to 6 are repeated using sodium thiosulphate solution with concentration of 0.10
mol dm-3, 0.15 mol dm-3, 0.20 mol dm-3, 0.25 mol dm-3.

Discussion:

1. An increase in concentration increases the rate of reaction.

2. The higher the concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution, the shorter the time
taken for the ‘X’ mark to disappear.

3. Rate of reaction is the time taken for the cross ‘X’ to disappear in different
concentration.
4. When the concentration of sodium thiosulphate increases, there are more sodium
thiosulphate particles per unit volume. The reactant particles can collide with one
another more rapidly, causing the rate of reaction increases.

5. To increase accuracy, we should observe the cross ‘X’ from directly above and not
at an angle of the conical flask.

6. The temperature and volume of both sodium thiosulphate solution and sulphuric
acid are kept constant in each set of the experiment. Any change in the rate of
reaction is due to the difference in concentration.

7. Sulphur dioxide is toxic and corrosive. So we must dispose of the solution


immediately after the experiment.

Conclusion:
The higher the concentration of reactants, the higher the rate of reaction. The
hypothesis is accepted.
