Procedure:

1. Take 7g ferrous sulphate 3.5g ammonium sulphate in a clean

250mL beaker.

2. To this add about 2-3mL of dil.sulphuric acid to prevent the

hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate.

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.

8. Repeat the experiment using different volumes of the sodium thiosulfate

solution with water.
