Summary of Introduction, Theory & Objectives:

SUMMARY OF INTRODUCTION
Reaction rate is the change in concentration of reactants per unit time. There are several factors that influence the reaction
rate which are temperature, pressure, catalyst, size of particle and concentration of reactants. Reaction rate can be studied
by observing the change in chemical properties or the change in physical properties of species involved in the solution. In
this experiment, effect of concentration on reaction rate is study where distilled water will be added into the mixture of
sodium thiosulphate, 𝑁𝑎2𝑆2𝑂3 and hydrochloric acid, HCL. The purpose of diluting water is to ensure that the concentration

of sodium thiosulphate keeps decreasing in each trial. The time taken for every mixture to cover the ‘X’ mark is recorded in
order to differentiate and prove the theory of reaction rate.

THEORY
Reaction rate is inversely proportional to the time of the reaction. Relating with this experiment, the higher the concentration
of sodium thiosulphate, the shorter the time taken to cover the ‘X’ mark.

OBJECTIVES
To study the effect of concentration on the reaction rate

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Make sure to wear a glove when taking the acid since it is corrosive
2. Ensure that there are no air bubbles trapped in the pipette

Analysis of Data: 1. State the relationship between the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate solution
with the time and the rate of reaction.
The higher the concentration, the shorter the time taken to get the solution becomes neutral.
The higher the concentration, the higher the rate of reaction between alkaline(Na₂S₂O₃)
and acid (HCl).

2. Write the equation for the reactions.

𝑁𝑎2𝑆2𝑂3 + 2𝐻𝐶𝐿 + 2𝐻2𝑂 −> 2𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙 + 2𝐻3𝑂 + 𝑆2𝑂3

Conclusion Based on our experiment, the reaction rate is inversely proportional to the reaction time. When the
concentration of sodium thiosulphate is high, the faster it takes to cover the ‘X’ mark. To sum up, the
higher the concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution, the higher the reaction rate.
