Experiment 1 Investigating the Effect of Temperature on Reaction Rate Aim: I want to investigate how temperature effects the reaction rate. Equipment Conical Flask Beaker Measuring Cylinder Stopwatch Waterbath Paper with a black cross "X" Thermometer 0.1mol/L Sodium Thiosulfate 2.0mol/L Hydrochloric Acid Method: Put the piece of paper with the X on the bench and put the conical flask on it. Measure 50mL of Sodium Thiosulfate and put it into a beaker. Record the temperature of the Sodium Thiosulfate. Measure 5mL of HCl and put it into the conical flask. Pour the Sodium Thiosulfate into the conical flask, start the timer and swirl the flask. Stop timing when the you can't see the cross on the paper. Wash out the flask thoroughly. Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 30°C . Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 40°C . Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 50°C . Results: 17°C took 33sec for the X to disappear. 32°C took 21sec for the X to disappear. 43°C took 7sec for the X to disappear. 57°C took 2sec for the X to disappear. Analysis: Conclusion: A chemical reaction is when two reactant particles collide. They must collide with enough force and in the correct orientation. As I increased the temperature, the reactants gained more kinetic energy and moved faster. The faster they move, the higher the chance of a successful collision. This means the rate of reaction will increase.

Experiment 1 
Investigating the Effect of Temperature on Reaction Rate

Aim:
I want to investigate how temperature effects the reaction rate.

Equipment

• Conical Flask
• Beaker
• Measuring Cylinder
• Stopwatch
• Waterbath
• Paper with a black cross "X"
• Thermometer
• 0.1mol/L Sodium Thiosulfate
• 2.0mol/L Hydrochloric Acid

Method:

1. Put the piece of paper with the X on the bench and put the conical flask on it.
   
2. Measure 50mL of Sodium Thiosulfate and put it into a beaker.
3. Record the temperature of the Sodium Thiosulfate.
   
4. Measure 5mL of HCl and put it into the conical flask.
5. Pour the Sodium Thiosulfate into the conical flask, start the timer and swirl the flask.
6. Stop timing when the you can't see the cross on the paper.
   
7. Wash out the flask thoroughly.
8. Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 30°C .
9. Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 40°C .
10. Repeat the experiment with the Sodium Thiosulfate at 50°C .

Results:

17°C  took 33sec for the X to disappear.
32°C  took 21sec for the X to disappear.
43°C  took 7sec for the X to disappear.
57°C  took 2sec for the X to disappear.

Analysis:




Conclusion:
the chemical reaction is when two reactant particles collide.
