were looking for. From this evidence I believe my results were very reliable. To minimize this kind of
error, we should only assign one student for both looking at the mixture and record the time.
Similarly, when the temperature is decreased there will be less energy, so there will be less collisions
and successful collisions taking place so the rate reaction will decrease. This can be justified by
relating to the collision theory. Review 1 Select overall rating (no rating) Your rating is required to

can be changed. It can be reproduced now, so if you are doing it now, then you can use the figures in
the experiement above. We only change the temperature of the mixture but not other factors, for
example, the concentration of reactants because we do not want to change the moles of the reactants.
Safety I will make sure I handle the sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid with care. I
will heat the solution for a few minutes until the desired heat is reached, (i.e. 5 degrees for the first
time). We used all our equipment as accurately as we could, making sure we did each experiment in
the same conditions as the previous ones. The rubber bung should be placed extremely fast after this
process, as well as the starting of the timer. These results agree with what I have said in my
prediction; that as the temperature increases the time taken for the reaction to happen decreases; so I
feel that my prediction will be correct. Join our team of reviewers and help other students learn. This
can easily be seen by the line of best fit which I have drawn in. If they were solid, they would not
move, and be modelled as, a lump of plasticine for example. The size of this activation energy is
different for different reactions. Main investigation Prediction I predict that the greater the
temperature of the sodium thiosulphate the faster the solution will become cloudy. Next I will place
the conical flask on top of the cross, pour 5cm 3 of hydrochloric into the hot sodium thiosulphate
solution and time how long it takes for the cross to disappear. There were no points on my scatter
graph that were not on or close to the line of best fit. Particles with more energy are more likely to
overcome the activation energy barrier to reaction and thus react successfully. The displacement of
water method provided reliable results, produced by a scientific method. The gas molecule products
produced from the reactants in the flask are transferred from the flask to the gas syringe by the
tubing by the movement of gas. I could also change the initial volume of either the hydrochloric acid
or sodium thiosulphate solution and see if I get a similar pattern of results. The independent variables
will be the initial volume and concentration of sodium thiosulphate, and the initial volume and
concentration of hydrochloric acid. The fact that the reactants had already started to react whilst the
timer hadn’t even been set yet due to the fact the top pan balance had to be reset was an extremely
unreliable factor.
The minimum energy that a particle must have to overcome the barrier is called the activation energy.
The gas syringe has marks along its length which allow the volume of collected gas to be measured.
I reject this method purely and simply because of the hassle of equipment and the time absorbing
attention it required. I will make sure that the measuring cylinders for the potassium iodate and
sodium disulphate will not be mixed up. For each different temperature, I measured the time taken
for the reaction 3 times as I felt this would give me a more reliable average. In this case the marbles
are getting energy from the person shaking the tray, however in the case of the experiment; the
energy is being supplied by the heat. Our customer service team will review your report and will be

appeared to be the most reliable and feasible to set up, as well as being a scientific way of
measuring. A piece of magnesium ribbon can be added to a solution of hydrochloric acid. Just as
important is where the experiment was not a success and why. This is because the greater the surface
area, the collisions will be more frequent. If you want to see the effect of high temperatures increased
reaction rates you can leave some dairy product out of the refrigerator for a few days and compare its
condition with the same age dairy product that was kept cold. I will always try to take the reading
from the same colour point, although this is unreliable because of human judgement. Write a review

there’s less dependence on human ability, which can easily cause an error. Only particles with
enough energy to overcome the barrier will react after colliding. This might have occurred for several
different reasons, such as the fact that the temperature control might not have been exactly the same
or that my judgement of when the cross may have disappeared might not have been exactly the same
for each one. I felt that this concentration would give me sensible values for the rate of reaction at
each temperature without getting too small too quickly. In the second set of results the trend was the
higher the temperature the quicker the rate of reaction apart from the first result which was an
anomaly. Bags and blazers will be kept under benches so that they cannot be tripped over. Below is a
table to show my results: From the table above I can see that, as the temperature increases, the time
taken for the cross to disappear decreases. Similarly, when the temperature is decreased there will be
less energy, so there will be less collisions and successful collisions taking place so the rate reaction
will decrease. However, I don’t think I could have controlled any of these variables any better than I
had done without specialist equipment which I did not have. It is supported by clear figures that add
to the textual information provided. Reactions that happen slowly have a low rate of reaction. Write

From my own scientific knowledge I think that if the temperature is increased much higher than 80
the reaction will occur too rapidly and so the time will be difficult to measure because of human
error. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel It's good to leave some feedback.
The independent variables will be the initial volume and concentration of sodium thiosulphate, and
the initial volume and concentration of hydrochloric acid. I will then put 40cm 3 of sodium
thiosulphate into a conical flask and place it on a tripod and gauze. We carried out the amount of
tests and got the amount of results we were planning to get and we carried them out in a systematic
and sensible way. There are many factors (variables) which determine how fast or slow the reaction
can take place (rate of reaction). This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To ensure quality for our

the surface area, the collisions will be more frequent. How fast they move depends on how much
energy they have (so the hotter they are, the faster they move). At a higher temperature, reactant
particles are moving faster with greater average kinetic energy. The gas syringe has marks along its
length which allow the volume of collected gas to be measured. The smaller the particle, the greater
the surface area With more collision, the rate of reaction increases. When the temperature is increased
the particles will have more energy and thus move faster. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To

powders) have a much greater surface area than lumps or crystals. I will measure the amount of time
for the solution to become completely cloudy by drawing a cross on a piece of paper and place it
under the beaker. Get this resource as part of a bundle and save up to 38% A bundle is a package of

of my results were also suitable to make good observations and conclusions By comparing the
repeated times on each of the experiments I can see that they were similar and each one was within
two seconds of each repeat. Lani on December 31, 2013: when did you do this experiment. It is two
stars as it only covers the initial research into the appropriate method. Therefore they will collide
more often and with more energy. However, unlike timing and observation, this method is far more
accurate, so a result or two less would not be much trouble. This energy is used in the breaking of
chemical bonds. This may lead to reaction time errors because there is reaction time between the
student found the cross blotted out and shout out. If the results were consistent and accurate I could
use them to back up my original theory. I would also try to make my experiment even more accurate.
