What this expt investigates (Na₂S₂O₃ + HCl)

Effect of [Na₂S₂O₃] on reaction rate

How rate measured in this expt

Time for S precipitate to obscure cross

Role of S in reaction

Forms cloudy precipitate that obscures cross

Conc. of Na₂S₂O₃ solution used

0.1 M

Conc. of HCl used

3 M

Initial vol. of Na₂S₂O₃

100 cm³

Vol. of HCl added

10 cm³

Eye protection required

Safety glasses

Hazard property of HCl

Corrosive

Why ventilation needed

SO₂ gas produced during reaction

Formula to calculate rate

1time\frac{1}{\text{time}} (reciprocal of time)

Effect of ↑[Na₂S₂O₃] on reaction time

Decreases (cross disappears faster)

Effect of ↑[Na₂S₂O₃] on rate

Increases
