Chemistry PEKA Form 5 Topic :Rate of Reaction Aim To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction.

Problem statement How does the concentration of a reactant affect the rate of reaction? Hypothesis Variables The more concentrated the sodium thiosulphate solution, the higher the rate of reaction. Manipulated variable : ___________________________________ esponding variable : Time ta!en for the cross "#" to disappear from the sight. $ontrolled variable : $oncentration and volume of dilute sulphuric acid , temperature of the solution %.2 mol dm&' 1() cm' sodium thiosulphate solution, 1.% mol dm&' 2) cm' sulphuric acid, distilled water *% cm', white paper mar!ed "#" at the centre )% cm' measuring c+linder, 1% cm' measuring c+linder, 1)% cm' conical flas!, and stop watch Experiment No : ........1.2........
