Investigating the effect of temperature on the reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Planning and Prediction
Apparatus List
Conical Flask
3 measuring cylinders
Sodium Thiosulphate (Na2S2O3)
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
Thermometer
Stop watch
When sodium thiosulphate reacts with hydrochloric acid, the solution becomes opaque. I will investigate how the rate of this reaction is affected when the experiment is carried out at different temperatures.
The reaction that occurs produces sulphur dioxide, water and sodium chloride. GRAPH
The rate of chemical reactions can be affected by a number of things:
· changes in surface area
· changes in concentration of the reactants
· changes in temperature
· added substances called catalysts
· and changes in pressure if the reactants are gases.
In most chemical reactions the rate changes with time, normally slowing down.
Prediction
I will be investigating the effect that temperature has on the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. I predict that the higher the temperature, the faster the reaction will occur.
This should happen because when heat is applied to a solution the particles in the compounds move faster and therefore come into contact with the other substance more rapidly. More importantly, the collisions are more energetic. An increase in collisions provides more energy than there is in the activation energy, so the reaction is faster. Preliminary Investigation
In order to discover what ratio of HCl to Na2S2O3 I needed to conduct a preliminary experiment, changing the concentration of the various reactants. I will need a time of two or three minutes at 20°C, my lowest temperature, because I predict that the reaction will speed up as the temperature is higher, and I do not want the reaction to happen in just three or four seconds once I get to 60°C as it will be difficult to measure the time accurately.
GRAPH
It was discovered after the preliminary experiments that there had been some contamination so the results were inaccurate. With a larger amount of Na2S2O3 than HCl the experiment should have happened slower not faster.
After further trials I discovered that:
Water 40mls
Na2S2O3 10mls
HCl 5mls
gave me an adequate starting time of approximately 3:00 - 3:30 minutes at 20°C.
As a result of my preliminary investigation I will add water to dilute the Na2S2O3, as otherwise it is too concentrated and the reaction
Although he was rash, untutored in the ways of the backcountry, and incautious to the point of foolhardiness, he wasn’t incompetent-he wouldn’t have lasted 113 days if he were and he wasn’t a nutcase...McCandless was pilgrim, perhaps”(84). Because McCandless was a believer during the whole duration to his destination, when he died he was at peace with himself and the life that he was given the privilege to live. He no longer was worrying about his father’s betrayal ways, and his mother’s childlike mind. McCandless got what he asked for, and that was to live and to die alone after achieving his dream. Before Chris was at his final ends of life, he took his last breaths to thank god and send everyone his blessings(199). Chris McCandless was born to be an overachiever and died taking pride in who he knew he was and what he had done. He’s more than just a hitchhiker, he’s a
Adversities are often given a negative connotation and view, as most consider them to be hurdles which impede progress. Nevertheless when taken in and accepted under a positive light, adversities can serve as stepping stones through which an individual can better their character. In the face of looming obstacles individuals who persevere come out of the situation as stronger, determined, and more hopeful for the future.
Adversity can be defined as a state or instance of serious or continued difficulty or misfortune. Many things in life can bring one adversity, however some are faced with more adversity in their lives than others. Overcoming this adversity can be one of the most difficult things that a person encounters, and at times, it may consume them. People attempt to persevere through adversity in many different ways. One of the most effective ways is to keep pushing through and to never give up. If one loses sight of what is driving them to persevere through adversity, it will swallow them up with no remorse. Staying mentally tough and focused on an end goal is how people not only persevere, but thrive through adversity.

...e is a severely misunderstood profession. The facts were tainted over the years to make movies and literature more enjoyable. Each passing year brings about new knowledge to the public about espionage. Some “facts” that are released must be thought and researched more on to make sure the fact isn’t fiction. One thing is for certain of spies and agents though. They live a tough life of lies.
The system itself makes sense, if you go to school and receive higher education and acquire a large debt from school loans there should be some accommodation as to how much money should be distributed. There in no reason should be anyone who makes a six figure yearly income; a person can comfortably live with less. This is where it becomes a problem there are people who have so much money that they don’t know what to do with it and then there are people who are in more physically or less demanding jobs who are just getting by pay check to pay check. I don’t see how equilibrium can actually be reached while this is occurring, there will always be people who do not get the amount of money they need to live happily.

The Effect of Temperature of Hydrochloric Acid on the Rate of Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium
Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid Investigation Chemical reactions are used in our everyday life, they literally keep us alive. They are used in food, respiration and everywhere else in the environment. A chemical reaction mainly occurs when reactants react together to produce a new product. The speed at which this reaction takes place is called the rate of reaction. The product produced has a number of particles in the solution that has formed from the reactants.

Overcoming adversity is imperative. In fact, you can 't have the happiness and success you want unless you have adversity in your life and overcome it. It is essential for progressing into who you want to be. It shows you what you are made of. It teaches you more about yourself, how to approach what you want, and how to maintain the success that you have. Without it, you wouldn 't know how far you could go or how capable you are because you wouldn 't have anything to push you or compare to.
My aim in this piece of work is to see the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction in a solution of hydrochloric acid containing sodium thiosulphate.
