Chemical Kinetics

The document describes a chemical kinetics experiment analyzing factors that impact the rate of a chemical reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. The purpose is to determine the reaction order with respect to thiosulphate concentration, HCl concentration, and temperature as well as calculate the activation energy. The procedure involves running the reaction at different concentrations of each substance and temperatures while measuring reaction time. Graphing the results shows the reaction is first order with respect to both thiosulphate and HCl concentrations and temperature. The overall reaction order is second order. The activation energy is calculated to be 44.61 kJ/mol.

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the factors that impact the rate
of the chemical reaction.

Procedure:
1. A thermometer, 125 mL erlenmeyer flask , a paper with cross, varied sizes of
graduated cylinders (25 mL, 50mL, 100 mL), a beaker, hot plate, a beaker with
warm water, 0.2 M thiosulphate, 2 M HCl and a wash bottle were used.
2. 45 mL of 0.20 M sodium thiosulphate was placed in the 125 mL Erlenmeyer
flask.
3. 5.0 mL of 2 M HCl and the time was recorded. The flask was swirled and was
placed in the paper marked with a cross. The time at which the cross
disappeared was recorded looking down to the solution.
4. The experiment was repeated for 40, 30, 20 and 20 mL of thiosulphate solution
and each time 45 mL with distilled water was added and then 5.0 mL of HCl was
added. The effect of thiosulphate concentration was determined.
5. The same experiment was done to find the effect of HCl concentration but this
time 40 mL of thiosulphate solution and the volume of HCl was varied to be 1, 2,
5, 10 mL.
6. 10 mL with distilled water was made before adding HCl. The total volume of each
reaction was ensured to be 50 mL each time. The effect of HCl concentration
was determined.
7. Five temperatures from room temperature were performed to about 50 °C. All
temperatures were measured and recorded.
8. 5 mL the HCl solution with 35 mL of water was combined and was heated
previously on the hot plate to an appropriate temperature.
9. 10 mL of thiosulphate solution was added, the temperature was measured and
the time was recorded to the disappearance of the cross.

Calculations:

For the effect of thiosulphate concentration :

Initial concentration of thiosulphate for 45 mL (total is 50 mL = 0.050 L)


Concentration = # of moles / Volume (L)
n=C x V
= 0.2 M x 0.045 mL= 0.009 mol
= 0.009mol / 0.050L = 0.18 M
Concentration of HCl (The volume of HCl in 5 mL=0.005 L)
= 2M x 0.005 L = 0.010 mol
= 0.010 mol / 0.05 L = 0.20 M
concentration of thiosulphate for 40 mL=
n=C x V
= 0.2 M x 0.040mL= 0.008 mol
= 0.008mol / 0.050L = 0.16 M
Concentration of HCl (The volume of HCl in 5 mL=0.005 L)
= 2M x 0.005 L = 0.010 mol
= 0.010 mol / 0.05 L = 0.20 M

concentration of thiosulphate for 30 mL=


n=C x V
= 0.2 M x 0.030mL= 0.006 mol
= 0.006mol / 0.050L = 0.12 M
Concentration of HCl (The volume of HCl in 5 mL=0.005 L)
= 2M x 0.005 L = 0.010 mol
= 0.010 mol / 0.05 L = 0.20 M

concentration of thiosulphate for 20 mL=


n=C x V
= 0.2 M x 0.020mL= 0.004 mol
= 0.004mol / 0.050L = 0.08 M
Concentration of HCl (The volume of HCl in 5 mL=0.005 L)
= 2M x 0.005 L = 0.010 mol
= 0.010 mol / 0.05 L = 0.20 M

concentration of thiosulphate for 10 mL =


n=C x V
= 0.2 M x 0.010mL= 0.002 mol
= 0.002mol / 0.050L = 0.04 M
Concentration of HCl (The volume of HCl in 5 mL=0.005 L)
= 2M x 0.005 L = 0.010 mol
= 0.010 mol / 0.05 L = 0.20 M
For the effect of HCl concentration:
Concentration of thiosulphate (40 mL)
= 0.2 M x 0.040 L = 0.008 mol
= 0.008 mol / 0.050 L = 0.16 M

The concentration of hydrochloric acid (for 1 mL HCl = 0.001 L)


[HCl] (1 mL) = 2M x 0.001 L = 0.002 mol
= 0.002 mol / 0.050 L = 0.040 M

The concentration of hydrochloric acid (for 2 mL HCl = 0.002 L)


= [HCl] (2mL) = 2M x 0.002 L = 0.004 mol
= 0.004 mol / 0.050 L = 0.080 M

The concentration of hydrochloric acid (for 5 mL HCl = 0.005 L)


=[HCl] (5 mL) = 2M x 0.005 L = 0.01 mol
= 0.01 mol / 0.050 L = 0.2 M

The concentration of hydrochloric acid (for 10 mL HCl = 0.010 L)


=[HCl] (10 mL) = 2M x 0.010 L = 0.02 mol
= 0.02 mol / 0.050 L = 0.4 M

For the effect of temperature:

Temperature (K) = Temperature (°C) + 273


ln(1/time)
1/Temp (K )
