Реферат: Rate Of Reaction In Sodium Thiosulphate And

HCl Essay, Research Paper

Plan We

must produce a piece of coursework investigating the rates 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 formation of a product during a chemical reaction.

It is measured by dividing 1 by the time taken for the reaction to take place.

There is five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the

collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of

solution), pressure (in gases), surface are (of solid reactants), and

catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect temperature and

concentration have on a reaction. This is because they are the most practical

to investigate ? it would take longer to prepare a solid in powdered and

unpowdered form, and it is difficult to get accurate readings due to the

inevitabilities of human errors, and as gas is mostly colourless it is difficult

to gauge a reaction changing the pressure, and if a substance is added to give

the gas colour, it may influence the outcome of the experiment. Similarly the

use of a catalyst complicates things, and if used incorrectly could alter the

outcome of the experiment.

Aim: –

To see the effects of a change in temperature and concentration on the rate of

a reaction. The reaction that will be used is:

Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric Acid

Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq)

Sodium Chloride + Water + Sulphur Dioxide +

2NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + SO2 (g) +

Sulphur

S (s)

Two series of experiments will be carried out ? one changing the temperature

(while everything else remains constant) and one varying the concentration
