Plan an investigation to show how the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution affects the rate of the reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid.
Your plan should give valid results.
method
• measure volume of sodium thiosulfate
• place sodium thiosulfate in
• measure volume of hydrochloric acid
• place on
• add hydrochloric acid to (conical) flask
• swirl
• start
• measure time for cross to become no longer visible
• repeat for different concentrations of sodium thiosulfate
control variables
• of hydrochloric acid
• volume of hydrochloric acid
• of sodium thiosulfate solution
