    ADIABATIC REACTOR

    AIM:
    To study the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between hydrogen peroxide
    and sodium thiosulphate under adiabatic reaction conditions and to determine the activation
    energy of the reaction.

    THEORY:
    The effect of temperature on the reaction mixture consisting of hydrogen peroxide and
    sodium thiosulphate when the reaction is carried out under adiabatic conditions, it can be
    observed and correlation with the reaction rate is given. As the exothermic reaction proceeds,
    the temperature increases and becomes constant. The rate of the reaction and temperature are
    correlated to various temperatures by the energy balance equation shown below:

    𝐸
    1 𝑑𝑇 𝑘𝐶𝐴0 𝑒 − ⁄𝑅𝑇
    2 =
    (T𝑓 − T) 𝑑𝑡 (𝑇𝑓 − 𝑇0 )

    Where
    Tf – Final Temperature (°C)
    T0 – Initial Temperature (°C)
    k – Rate constant
    CA0 – Initial concentration (moles/ litre)
    A graph is drawn between ln A Vs.1/T and the slope is equated to -E/R.

    CHEMICALS REQUIRED:
    Hydrogen Peroxide ------- 30 ml
    Sodium thiosulphate ------- 15 gm
    Distilled water ------- 600 ml

    APPARATUS / GLASSWARE REQUIRED:


    2 Beakers (500ml each), measuring pipette, measuring cylinder, glass stirring rod.

    DESCRIPTION:
    The set up consists of a reactor with motor of capacity 1 liter fitted with a stirrer. The
    flask is double insulated by ceramic wool insulation. Temperature is measured by digital
    temperature indicator. The whole set up is mounted on a rigid M.S. Frame.

    PROCEDURE:
    Take 30 ml of hydrogen peroxide in a beaker and dilute it into 300 ml by using distilled
    water and pour it into the reactor, 300 ml of sodium thiosulphate solution will also be added in
    the reactor. Due to exothermic reaction, the temperature of reaction mixture starts increasing,
    the rise in temperature is noted at different time intervals as the reaction proceeds.
