Sodium Thiosulphate's Effect on the Rate of Reaction with Hydrochloric Acid Aim:
I am going to investigate how varying the concentration of Sodium
Thiosulphate affects the rate of reaction with Hydrochloric Acid.
Prediction:
The equation for the reaction is:
[IMAGE]
Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric Acid Sodium Chloride + Water +
Sulphur + Sulphur dioxide
[IMAGE]
Or: Na2S2O3 + 2HCl S + 2NaCl + H2O + SO2
This reaction has a definite end point (when the cross on the test
tube 'disappears'). The faster the cross 'disappears' the faster the
reaction and by timing how long this takes we can establish the rate
of reaction.
There are various factors affecting the rate of reaction that we need
to take into consideration, these are:
b Temperature - I will conduct all the tests at room temperature
(hopefully on the same day) because temperature has an effect on the
rate of the reaction.
b Shaking or stirring - I will try to keep jogging of the solutions to
a minimum so as not to alter the rate of reaction.
b Catalysts speed up reactions.
I predict that the greater the concentration of Sodium Thiosulphate
(hypo) in the solution the faster the chemical reaction will take
place. Therefore, the cross will disappear more quickly due to the
cloudiness of the solution. But only up to a point after this the
solution will not react within a reasonable time (i.e. under 30 min).
On a graph I predict it would be a plateau.
I think that the concentration of a solution effects the rate of
reaction because the rate of reaction depends on how frequently the
molecules of the reacting substances collide. A more concentrated
substance has more molecules for a given volume than a more dilute
The sand is If the water with Alka-Seltzer tablets is stirred during the reaction, then the rates of reactions will increase because the particles will be forced to make contact with each other and... ... middle of paper ... ...results anomalies because they are the outcome of dissociation of calcium and magnesium ions,. Evaluation: What is the difference between My results were very reliable, because by looking at my graphs I can see a trend that relates to my scientific background. It is also evident that I have obtained a reliable set of results when I see that.
The rate law determines how the speed of a reaction occurs, thus allowing the study of the overall mechanism formation in reactions. In the general form of the rate law, it is A + B C or r=k[A]x[B]y. The rate of reaction can be affected by the concentrations such as A and B in the previous equation, order of reactions, and the rate constant with each species in an overall chemical reaction. As a result, the rate law must be determined experimentally. In general, in a multi-step reaction, there will be one reaction that is slower than the others.
Investigating How the Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid Affects the Rate of Reaction with Calcium Carbonate
Rate of reaction is the speed of reaction. In essays written by young scientists, they have used concentration as variable in their experiments; some have used a light sensor. connected to a data logger, to measure the amount of light passing. through the "cloudy" liquid. 1 moles = 6.02 1023 The particles in the hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate need to
Investigating the Factors Influencing the Rate of Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulphate and Dilute Hydrochloric Acid
The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid
The rate equation is in terms of concentration over time and the reaction rate compares the increase/decrease
Input variables In this experiment there are two main factors that can affect the rate of the reaction. These key factors can change the rate of the reaction by either increasing it or decreasing it. These were considered and controlled so that they did not disrupt the success of the experiment. Temperature-
However, in order to measure the rates of reaction, sodium thiosulphate and starch are added. Sodium thiosulphate is added to react with a certain amount of iodine as it is made. Without the thiosulphate, the solution would turn blue/black immediately, due to the iodine and starch. The thiosulphate ions allow the rate of reaction to be determined by delaying the reaction so that it is practical to measure the time it takes for the iodine to react with the thiosulphate. After the all the thiosulphate has reacted with the iodine, the free iodine displays a dark blue/black colour with the starch. If t is the time for the blue/black colour to appear, then 1/t is a measure of the initial rate.
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.
from 10cm to 50cm to make it easier to see the difference in a graph.
The Effect of Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid on the Rate of Reaction with Magnesium Aim: To investigate the effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction with magnesium Prediction: As the concentration of the hydrochloric acid increases, so will the rate of reaction Hypothesis: In a reaction, particles of two different reactants react together to form a product. The reaction only takes place on account of two things, if the particles collide, and if the collision has enough 'activation energy'. The two reactant particles, in this case magnesium particles and hydrochloric acid particles, must collide with each other on the correct 'collision course'. If this does not occur then no chemical reaction will take place. The reaction must also have enough energy, this can be affected by temperature, the more heat the particles have the faster they move and so the more energy therefore more chance of successful collisions.
The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Calcium Carbonate
My aim in this piece of work is to see the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction in a solution of hydrochloric acid containing sodium thiosulphate. The word equation for the reaction that will occur in the experiment is: Sodium thiosulphate + hydrochloric acid →, sulphur + sulphur dioxide +. sodium chloride + water ? where the sulphur is an insoluble precipitate.
Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Aim Investigation, to find out how the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid is affected by changing the concentration. Introduction I must produce a piece of coursework investigating the rate of reaction, and the effect different changes have on them. The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant, or the rate of development of a product during a chemical reaction. It is measured by dividing 1 by the time taken for the reaction to take place.
