Theory :
When an equimolar solution of hydrated ferrous sulphate and
ammonium sulphate in are mixed with water containing a few mL
of dil. H2SO4 is added to prevent the hydrolysis of FeSO4.7H2O
then subjecting the resulting solution to the crystallization
point.Cooling of the hot saturated solution yields light green
crystals of Mohr’s salt.
FeSO4.7H2O + (NH4)2 SO4 → FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O +H2O
Procedure:
1. Take 7g ferrous sulphate 3.5g ammonium sulphate in a clean
250mL beaker.

Chemical Kinetics
EXPT: NO: 6
STUDY THE EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION AND TEMPERATURE ON THE
REACTION BETWEEN SODIUM THIOSULPHATE AND HYDROCHLORIC
ACID.
Aim:
To study the effect of concentration and temperature on the reaction between sodium
thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid.
Principle:
The concentration of reacting substances affect their closeness to one another, and
consequently the frequency of their collision .
This ultimately affects the rate of reaction. The higher the concentration of reactants,
the greater the rate of reaction and vice-versa.
When the temperature of a reacting system is increased by way of heating,
The reacting particles gain energy and are able to move faster, resulting in increased
collisions, which increases the rate of the reaction.
Procedure1:
Effect of change in concentration:
1. Take 50 mL of 0.1M sodium thiosulfate solution in a conical flask
2. Add 10 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid and immediately start the clock
3. Shake the contents,
4. Place this conical flask on a piece of paper/title marked with a cross
5. Look down at the cross from above.
6. When the cross disappears to stop the clock and note the time.
7. Record this in the table.
