Topic :Rate of Reaction Aim To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction.
Problem statement How does temperature affect the rate of reaction? Hypothesis Variables
Experiment No : ........1.3.......
The higher the temperature of the reactant, the higher the the rate of reaction. Manipulated variable : Temperature of sodium thiosulphate solution Responding variable : Time taken for the cross `X` to disappear from the sight. Controlled variable : Concentration and volume of both dilute sulphuric acid and sodium thiosulphate solution
Materials Apparatus Procedure
0.2 mol dm-3 250 cm3 sodium thiosulphate solution, 1.0 mol dm-3 25 cm3 sulphuric acid, white paper marked `X` at the centre 50 cm3 measuring cylinder, 10 cm3 measuring cylinder, 150 cm3 conical flask, stop watch,thermometer,bunsen burner,tripod stand and wire gauze.
1. 50 cm3 of 0.2 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate solution is measured using measuring cylinder and poured into a conical flask. 2. The temperature of the solution is measured with a thermometer. 3. The conical flask is placed on a white paper marked`X`. 4. 5 cm3 of 1 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid is measured using measuring cylinder. 5. The acid is quickly poured into the sodium thiosulphate solution. 6. The stopwatch is started immediately and the conical flask is swirled. 7. The mark `X` is viewed from above. 8.The stopwatch is stopped as soon the mark disappear from sight. 9.Time taken is recorded. 10. Steps 1 to 9 are repeated by using the different temperature of sodium thiosulphate solution at 400C, 500C, 600C and 700C. Data Sample Answer: Set I II II IV V Temperature/0C 30 40 50 60 70 Time/s 1/Time /s-1
Communication: Graph of temperature against time (Draw graph use full graph paper) Graph of temperature against 1/time (Draw graph use full graph paper) Interpreting data: 1. Based on the graphs, the higher the temperature of sodium thiosulphate, the ____________ the time taken for the cross `X` to disappear from the sight 2. The rate of reaction directly proportional to the temperature of sodium thiosulphate solution used. Conclusion The hypothesis is accepted.
