1 Sodium thiosulfate reacts with acid to produce a pale yellow precipitate of sulfur.

S2O32−(aq) + 2H+(aq) S(s) + SO2(aq) + H2O(l)

You will investigate how the rate of this reaction varies with the concentration of thiosulfate ions. Todothisyouwillmeasurethetimetakenforafixedamountofsulfurtobeformed.

FB 1 is 0.10 mol dm–3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. FB 2 is 1.00 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl.

Experiment 3

Repeat Experiment 2 using 20 cm3 of FB 1, 20 cm3ofdistilledwaterand25cm3 of FB 2.

Experiments 4 and 5

Choose suitable volumes that will enable you to investigate further the effect of changing theconcentration of thiosulfate ions on the rate of the reaction. You should not use a volume of less than 10 cm3 of FB 1.
