(b) C-14 is a solution of HCl of strength 0.1 M.

Procedure:

Take 5 beakers labelled 1 to 5. With the help of a measuring cylinder, put sodium thiosulphate solution and distilled water according to the table given below:

Beaker No. Volume of Solution C-13 Volume of distilled water Time in seconds
1 50 mL 0 mL  
2 40 mL 10 mL  
3 30 mL 20 mL  
4 20 mL 30 mL  
5 10 mL 40 mL  

Place beaker number 1 over a piece of paper with a cross mark (X) on it.

Now add 10 mL of the solution C-14(HCl) to this solution and start the stop-watch at the same time. Swirl the contents of the beaker and return it over the over mark.

Look down vertically on the cross mark and stop the stop-watch as soon as tge cross on the paper become invisible. Note the time in the stop-watch.

Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + SO2(g) + H2O + S(Colloidal)

Repeat the experiment by adding 10 mL of C-14 to the beaker labelled 2,3,4 and 5 and note the time taken in each case for the cross mark on the paper to become invisible.

Tabulate the readings. Find your results:

(i) Plot a graph on the concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution ( in terms of the volume of the sodium thiosulphate taken) against time taken for the cross mark to become invisible.

(ii) Predict the effect of change in concentration of sodium thiosulphate on the rate of the above reaction from the nature of your graph.

(iii) From the graph , find the time taken for the reaction when 25 mL of the solution C-13 is used.
