    This experiment aims to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid by measuring the time taken for a precipitate to form at different temperatures. The experiment involves mixing sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid solutions in a beaker placed over a marked sheet of paper and timing how long it takes for the mark to become obscured. This is repeated at various temperatures between 30-80°C. The results are then plotted as graphs of temperature vs time and temperature vs rate to analyze the relationship between temperature and reaction rate.

    Title: Rates of Reaction 2

    Aim: To determine the effect of the temperature of sodium thiosulphate on


    the rate of reaction by measuring the time required for the formation of
    a precipitate.
    Apparatus: A measuring cylinder, two boiling tubes, a 5ml pipette, a sheet of paper,
    a 100ml beaker, six water baths, a marker (or pen), a thermometer and a
    timer
    Reagents: 0.05M Sodium thiosulphate solution and 1M hydrochloric acid
    Method: (a) Using a measuring cylinder, measure 50cm3 of 0.05M sodium
    thiosulphate solution and place the measured volume of sodium
    thiosulphate into a boiling tube.
    (b) Pipette 5 cm3 of 1.0M hydrochloric acid and transfer this to
    another boiling tube.
    (c) Place both test tubes in a water bath at room temperature
    (measure and record the temperature).
    (d) Draw a large “X” on a sheet of paper using a marker. Place a
    100ml beaker over the “X”.
    (e) Pour the contents of both boiling tubes into the beaker and start
    the stopwatch immediately.
    (e) When the “X” on the paper can no longer be seen from above the
    beaker, stop the timer.
    (f) Rinse the beaker and repeat the experiment using the
    temperatures given in Table 1 below.

    Table 1: THE EFFECT OF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE REACTANTS ON THE REACTION RATE

    Number of trials Temperature Time taken for Rate (1/t)/s-1

    “X”(t)/ s
    1 30
    2 40
    3 50
    4 60
    5 70
    6 80

    Observations: Record relevant observations

    Treatment of results: (a) Plot the following graphs:


    (i) Temperature of reagents vs time
    (ii) Temperature of reagents vs Reaction rate

    Discussion questions: (a) Define the term “reaction rate”.


    (b) With the aid of an equation, explain why the “X” drawn on the
    paper was obscured when sodium thiosulphate was combined
    with hydrochloric acid.
    (c) Account for the shape of the graphs drawn.

    Sources of error: State at least one factor which could lead to inaccurate results (Do not
    write factors arising from obvious carelessness, eg, failure to properly
    label flasks, pipetting the wrong solution, etc.)

    Precautions: State precautions which were observed during the experiment

    Conclusion: A brief statement related to your aim. (Was your aim met? If so, what
    was the result?)
