Experiment 2(a)
Aim : To study the effect of concentration on the rate of the reaction between sodium thiosulphate
and hydrochloric acid.
Theory. The chemical reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid may be represented as
toliows.

() VieW the reaction mixture from top to downwards in the flask and stop the stop watch as S0on as the
cross mark becomes invisible and note down the time taken. This is taken as the time required for the
precipitation of sulphur.
(vi) Repeat the experiment by adding 10 mL. of 1MHCI to flask 2,3, 4and 5and record the time taken in each
case for the cross to become just invisible.
(vi) Record your observationsin the tabulated from as shown in Table 2.1.
Observations. Volume of 1M hydrochloric acid taken each time = 10 mL
Flask Vol. of Na,S,0, Vol. of water in mL Total vol. of soln. Time taken for the
