Reaction Rates

Purpose To compare the rate of reaction with the varying concentration of a reactant

Procedure Obtain one 10 mL and one 50 mL graduated cylinder and a beaker. All chemicals will be at your lab station You will be diluting Solution A (Na2S2O3). For trial one, put 10 mL of Solution A into one graduated cylinder and add 40 mL of water. Put 5 mL of HCl into graduated cylinder Put an “X” on a piece of paper. Pour the solutions into the beaker and record the time it takes to change color and not see the “X”. Dump down sink and rinse flask.

Procedure For trial two, mix 20 mL of solution A into the graduated cylinder and 30 mL of water. Always put 5 mL of solution B into the other graduated cylinder. Mix the two solutions in the beaker and record the time to not see the “X”. Dump down sink and rinse. Repeat with other 3 trials.

Data Na2S2O3 Water HCl Time 10 mL 40 mL 5 mL 20 mL 30 mL 50 mL 0 mL
