Results Analysis (After the experim ent)

Use the volume of Sodium

Thiosulfate to calculate the number

of moles used, using the following
equation, acknowledging that 1 mol
of solution occupies 24,000 cm3 .

Vol. of Na2S2O3 (cm3)

Results Analysis (After the

experim ent)
From this, you can look at the

balanced equation for the reaction

below.

2Na2S2O3 + I2 Na2S4O6 +
2NaI
The reaction sh0ws that for every

two moles of Na2S2O3 , there is 1

Results Analysis (After the

experim ent)
From this, we can assume that the

number of moles of Sodium

Thiosulfate used in the titration, will
be double the number of moles of
Iodine produced.

G raph
Plot time in minutes (X axis) against

the more of Iodine produced.

The graph should show zero Order.
As time increases,the moles of iodine
decreases.
By drawing tangents,we can find out

the rate of reaction

Should show a straight line.
