Rates of Reaction – Disappearing Cross Experiment Aim: To find the rate of reaction sodium thiosulphate + hydrochloric acid → sodium chloride + water + sulphur dioxide + sulphur Equipment: conical flask 0.1M sodium thiosulphate 0.5M hydrochloric acid 10ml measuring cylinder (x2) distilled water conical flask stopwatch paper thermometer Method: pour 10ml of 0.5M hydrochloric acid into a conical flask place a piece of paper with a pencil cross drawn on underneath add the thiosulphate and start the stopwatch simultaneously stop the stopwatch when the cross has disappeared repeat with different solutions (see table below) Results: |Volume of thiosulphate |Volume of water/ml |Concentration of |Volume of acid/ml |Time for cross to disappear | |solution/ml | |thiosulphate (M) | |(minutes) | |10 |0 | |10 |2min 34 seconds | |8 |2 | |10 |3min 52 seconds | |6 |4 | |10 |7min 58 seconds | |4 |6 | |10 |11min 37 seconds | |2 |8 | |10 |15min 42 seconds | Tasks: 1. draw a graph to show your results from part 1. 2. What conclusion can you draw about the effect of concentration on rate of reaction? That there is a direct relationship between the concentration and rate of reaction; as concentration of solvent increases, so too does the rate of reaction. 3.
