2 0652/6 O/N/02 1 When aqueous sodium thiosulphate reacts with acid, a precipitate of sulphur is formed. An experiment was done to investigate how the time taken for this reaction varied with temperature. • 50 cm3 of aqueous sodium thiosulphate, was placed in a conical flask. • The conical flask was warmed to a temperature of 30 °C. • 5 cm3 of hydrochloric acid was added to the conical flask and a clock was started. • The flask was placed on top of a black cross drawn on white paper, as shown in Fig. 1.1. • The time taken for enough precipitate to form, so that the cross could not be seen, was noted in Fig. 1.2. Fig. 1.1 Fig. 1.2 The procedure was repeated at four different temperatures. The times taken for the precipitates to form are shown in Fig. 1.3. Fig. 1.3 (a) Read the clock dials in Fig. 1.3 and record the times in Fig. 1.2.

The energy change during the reaction was shown by the change in temperature of the beaker and the water. Fig. 3.1 shows the balance reading when the beaker was weighed. Fig. 3.2 shows the balance reading when the beaker containing solid Z was weighed. Fig. 3.3 shows the temperature of the 25 cm3 of water.
