The aim of this experiment – To study the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction
between hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate.
Theory:
The reaction between Sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Materials required:
The apparatus and materials required for this experiment are as follows:
1. Flasks 5
2. Burette of volume 50 mL
3. Pipette
4. Burette stand
5. Stopwatch
6. Sodium thiosulphate
7. 1M Hydrochloric acid
Procedure:
The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction:
1. Take five conical flasks, rinse them with water, and label them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2. Add 10 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution in flask 1, 20 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution in
flask 2, 30 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution in flask 3, 40 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution in
flask 4, and 50 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution in flask 5.
3. Add 40 mL of distilled water in the flask 1, 30 mL of distilled water in the flask 2, 20 mL of distilled
water in flask 3, 10 mL of distilled water in flask 4. This is done to adjust the volume of solution in
each flask to 50 mL.
4. Add 1M HCl of volume 10 mL in flask 1 with the help of a burette.
5. Start the stopwatch immediately.
6. Take a white tile and draw a cross mark on it.
7. Add half of the HCl in the flask 1 and shake it well and start the stop-watch.
8. Observe the flask and start the stop-watch as soon as the cross mark becomes invisible.
Record the time taken for the process.
9. Repeat the experiment by adding 10 mL HCl in flask 2, 3, 4, 5 and record the time for each.
