An experiment to investigate the effect of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction with sodium thiosulpahte.
Aim
I am trying to find out how the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the reaction time with sodium thiosulpahte.
If a clear solution of sodium thiosulphate is mixed with hydrochloric acid then a reaction will occur where a creamy-yellow precipitate of sulphur is produced.

The sulphur takes a while to form and starts to turn the water cloudy after a short time. You cannot tell when the reaction has stopped so a cross drawn on a piece of paper in pencil can be

They all increase the number of collisions.
Fair testing
* To make this a fair test I will only change one variable.
* Each experiment will be done three times so an average can be found.
* The same equipment will be used in each experiment.
Method
· Measure out 50ml of thiosulphate and add it to the conical flask.
· Draw a cross on a piece of paper and place the conical flask on it.
· Measure out 10ml of acid and add it to the conical flask and start timing.
· Look into the top of the conical flask and when the cross can no longer be seen stop the stop watch.
· Do the experiment again but measure out 8ml of hydrochloric acid. Then add 2ml of distilled water. The ratio for each experiment will therefore be 10:0, 8:2, 6:4, 4:6 and of acid to water
Conclusion
I conclude that whilst carrying out this investigation I found out that the more acid was in the solution the cross on the paper disappeared quicker. This shows that the more concentrated the acid is then the quicker the reaction time. My research about the collision theory was correct and the more concentrated the solution is then the number of collisions will be increased. If the numbers of collisions are increased then the reaction time will also be increased.
My prediction 'that the less concentrated the acid is then the longer it will take for the sodium thiosulphate to react with the acid' is correct because experiment number 5
Next, I poured distilled water just below the 250ml mark on the neck of the volumetric flask.
Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
1. Fill the graduated cylinder nearly to the top with water, with a tall glass tube open at both ends (the water level with act as the closed end).
2. Lift a clean, dry 1 liter beaker with both hands and place it inverted over the candle.
17) Pour a small amount of the hot solvent into the flask containing the solid.
Once the water is at the desired temperature, place the small lamp 5cm away from the beaker and turn it on.
Obtain a 30 cm by 11 cm container and place it on a flat surface large enough to fit it.
C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.
When filling up the burette it is important that a funnel is used, however as the solution reaches the 0 mark it is ideal that the funnel be removed and a pipette used instead to reach the 0 mark, this is to achieve greater precision. During the experiment, it is important to swirl the flask continuously with one hand
· I set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram. I then placed a
1) Pour 25 mL of the 1 M hydrochloric acid into the beaker and rinse the solid by swirling the acid around in the bottom of the beaker.
Dispense .5 mL water into the already weighed conical vial, replace cap and face insert on its down side.
In this paper, I will be examining the results of an experiment where I disconnect from the Internet for 24 hours. While disconnected, I will not be allowed any access to search engines, browsers, or applications that require Internet. The only possible source of telecommunication would be through text and call without Internet. The last time where I remember living a day without Internet for 24 hours was before I owned my first ever laptop, which was back in 2007. Ever since then, my Internet usage and reliance only increased exponentially. Since I am one of the followers of the modern social construct, I would be suffering from the constant anxiousness due to the fear of missing out and the ongoing withdrawal from my habitual none-stop
Submerge the graduated cylinder in the plastic tub so that it is completely filled with water. Hold the open end of the graduated cylinder and move it vertically upside-down where the open end of the graduated cylinder is still submerged in the plastic tub. Clamp the graduated cylinder the ring stand of the lab table to keep it in place. perforate a hole in the top of the rubber cork for the solution container. Cut a straw the length of about four inches. place the straw inside of the rubber cork hole. Set up your timer for two minutes.
Place a burette on the conical flask and then hold it by using a clamp stand.
