Experiment ROR

The document describes three experiments: 1) Varying the concentration of sodium thiosulfate solutions to observe the effect on the rate of its reaction with sulfuric acid. Higher concentrations reacted faster. 2) Comparing the rates of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate chips or powder, finding powder reacted faster due to its larger surface area. 3) Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with and without the catalyst manganese(IV) oxide, which increased the reaction rate.

Experiment 1&2 (concentration/Temperature) By measuring the time taken for the formation of sulphur precipitate (yellow solid) when

sulphuric acid, H2SO4 reacts with sodium thiosulphate(VI), Na2S2O3 of different concentration , we can investigate the effect of concentration of the reactant on the rate of reaction.

Experiment 2 (total surface area) The reaction between Hydrochloric acid, HCl and calcium carbonate, CaCO3. CaCO3 +2HClCaCl2 +CO2 +H2O Experiment 2a 3 3 25 cm of 0.5 mol dm hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate chips. The carbon dioxide gas released is collected in a burrete. The volume of the gas released is recorded in every 30s. The result is plotted in a graph.

Experiment 3 (catalyst) Set 1: Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Set 2: Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide + Manganese(IV) Oxide (Catalyst) Chemical Reaction: 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 Result:

Procedure: 3 -3 1. 50 cm of 0.2 mol dm sodium 3 thiosulphate solution + 10 cm of 0.5 mol -3 dm sulphuric acid. 2. Time taken for the X sign placed under the conical flask to disappear from view is recorded. 3. The experiment is repeated by using sodium thiosulphate solution with -3 -3 concentration 0.4 mol dm , 0.6 mol dm , -3 -3 0.8 mol dm and 1.0 mol dm . Conclusion 1: 1. The graph for concentration of sodium thiosulphate (VI), Na2S2O3 against time taken for the sulphur precipitate to formed is plotted. 2. As the concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution decreases, the longer the time is needed for the marked X to disappear.

Manganese(IV) oxide acts as a catalyst to increase the rate of reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid Experiment 2b 3 3 25 cm of 0.5 mol dm hydrochloric acid Conclusion: + calcium carbonate powder. As in The presence of catalyst increases the experiment 1, the carbon dioxide gas released is collected in a burrete and the rate of reaction volume of the gas released is recorded in every 30s. The result is plotted in the same graph in experiment 1.

Conclusion 2: 1. The graph for concentration of sodium thiosulphate (VI), Na2S203 against 1/time Conclusion taken is plotted. 2. As the concentration of sodium thiosulphate increases, the value of 1/time increases. We should note that 1/time = rate of reaction. 3. The higher the concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution, the higher the rate of reaction .
