    EXPERIMENT 1 Dherit 7843 MYP-5A

    Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid:


    Sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sulphur and
    sulphur dioxide. The sulphur is a solid which forms a yellow suspension1: the
    reaction mixture turns cloudy and then opaque.
    Equation: Na2S2O3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ⎯→ 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + H2O(l)

    Hypothesis:
    Higher concentrations of sodium thiosulphate will result in a shorter time for the cross to
    disappear, as increased concentration leads to more frequent collisions and a faster reaction rate.

    Variables:
    Independent - Volume of Sodium Thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid
    Dependent - Time taken for the Cross to disappear
    Controlled -Volume of HCl

    Take the solutions in the following order given in the table:

    Reaction Setup:
    a. Pour one of the prepared sodium thiosulphate solutions into a conical flask.
    b. Place the flask over the white paper with the cross marked on it.
    c. Add 10 mL of hydrochloric acid to the sodium thiosulphate solution, immediately starting the
    stopwatch.
    d. Look through the top of the flask and stop the timer when the cross is no longer visible due to the
    formation of the cloudy precipitate.
    e. Record the time taken for the cross to disappear.
    Repeat the experiment for each of the other concentrations of sodium thiosulphate.

    Safety Precautions
    ● Wear safety goggles and a lab coat during the experiment to avoid any chemical splashes.
    ● Handle hydrochloric acid with care as it is corrosive.
    Analysis
    1. Plot a graph of the concentration of sodium thiosulphate (x-axis) against the time taken for
    the cross to disappear (y-axis).
    2. Describe the relationship between concentration and the rate of reaction.
    3. Discuss how changing the concentration of sodium thiosulphate affects the rate of the
    reaction.

    2. Describe the relationship between concentration and the rate of reaction.

    Ans. After looking at the results after doing the experiment we can clearly see that as the
    concentration of sodium thiosulphate decreases, the time taken for the cross to disappear increases.
    This shows that higher concentration results in faster reactions due to more frequent collisions
    between the molecules.

    3. Discuss how changing the concentration of sodium thiosulphate affects the rate of the reaction.

    Ans. Changing the concentration of sodium thiosulphate can significantly affect the rate of reaction
    with hydrochloric acid and distilled water. Higher concentrations lead to more sodium thiosulphate
    molecules, resulting in increased collisions with hydrochloric acid and a faster reaction
