Rate of Reaction
After doing my pilot run, i think that my method and apparatus used should be mostly the same:
Apparatus - 1 conical flask
- 1 lamenated 'x'
- 3 test tubes
- 1 thermometer
- 1 stop watch
- 3 pipettes
Method:
1. Measure 10ml of 0.2mol/dm3 or 0.2moldm-3 sodium thiosulphate 2. Pour it into the conical flask
3. Add 40ml of distilled water for dillution.
4. Then add 5cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid of concentration
2mol/dm3 at room temperature
5. Record the temperature of the mixture. Stir mixture gently.
6. Stir mixture gently
7. Start time when all is stirred and when the conical flask is over the 'X' paper.
8. Once the cross is completely out of sight due to the reactionof the sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid and then record the time.
9. I willl then repeat this with different measurements of sodium thiosulphate and water.
Changes I have made and why
- I am not going to be using a burette because after finishing my pilot run, i realised that i was gradually getting more and more behind schedule and I wouldn;t have enough time to complete my obtaining evidence if I were to carry on using it.
Fair test
To make sure it was a fair test. i had to constantly keep cleaning and washing the equipmentas any remaining substances can cause major differences in the results. And we had to try ansd hope that the room temperature will remain constant during the course of my experiment.
Also we always have to keep the volume of concentrstion the same -
55ml.
number and range of experiments
- If I have enough time, I would like to try around nine different concentrations of sodium thiosulphate with water. I am going to try hte following volumes of sodium thiosulphate: 10ml, 15ml, 20ml,
25ml, 30ml,35ml, 40ml,45ml and 50ml.
- I have chosen a range of 40ml as I think this is enough to truly experience the various actions of sodium thiosulphate reacting with hydrochloric acid.
- If any of my results seem somewhat innaccurate or faulty, I will try my best to redo them.
Safety
- Make sure to tie hair back.
- Wear a lab coat.
- Wear safety glasses or goggles.
- Wash hand in between each experimewnt and after anmd before eating.
- Open windows so the smell isn't too overwhelming
Dillutions
To make my experiment a fair test, we must always have the same volume of solutions, 55ml.
this is the best volume to use as it is about ¾ of a test tube full,
Rate of Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Plan: In my experiment I will measure the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The rate of the reaction is the speed that the reaction takes place so by measuring the rate I will measure the amount of time the reaction takes. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is found in digestive juices in the stomach, it is also used for cleaning metals before they are coated. Calcium carbonate has a few forms including chalk and limestone the main use of these two materials is in the making of concrete, which is used for many things such as buildings. When you put calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid together they react to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
Experiment is to investigate the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate Hydrochloric acid + Calcium Carbonate Þ Calcium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide 2HCl (aq) CaCo3 (s) CaCl2(s) H2O (aq) CO2 (g) There are a number of variables in this experiment and these are listed below as input variables and outcome variables.

The Holocaust was an extremely horrific period of history. Millions were killed and lost everything, including money, family, and dignity. However, it has taught many lessons. We can study it today to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.
President Barack Obama receives an average of 30 death threats a day, totalling close to 11,000 a year! But what prevents these people from carrying out their threats? The Secret Service. The United States Secret Service is well known for protecting the President and keeping him out of harm’s way, but they also investigate counterfeit, forgery, and financial crimes. The Secret Service has had a huge impact on the safety of the President, Vice-President, and their families. The Secret Service has had a long and interesting history, starting when President Abraham Lincoln established the United States Secret Service on April 14, 1865. That was the exact same day John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln! It was created at the advice of Hugh McCulloch, the Secretary of Treasury at the time and its main purpose was to stop the creation and circulation of counterfeit money. Started operating on July 5, 1865, with its first chief being William Wood. At one point in time, Congress thought about adding the protection of the President to the Secret Service’s list of duties, but it wasn’t added until James A. Garfield was assassinated in 1881 and William McKinley was assassinated in 1901 that they finally did. President Theodore Roosevelt was the first President to receive protection by the Secret Service in 1901, and every President after has has been protected by the USSS. Later on, the Secret Service became in charge of protecting others. After Robert Kennedy, a presidential candidate at the time, was assassinated in 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson made the Secret Service in charge of protecting presidential candidates as well. The Secret Service has had a lot of new jobs assigned to them, but their agents are the ones who help get the jobs done....

The media is a powerful resource for the Presidency and for the people of the United States. Justice Frankfurter, of the Supreme Court, said “A free press is indispensable to the workings of our democratic society.” He says that the American people need the media to be informed about government workings, foreign affairs, and events of importance. Without this...
My aim in this piece of work is to see the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction in a solution of hydrochloric acid containing sodium thiosulphate.
... small media reforms (like public journalism) will be enough to reduce the commercial and corporate imperatives driving our existing media systems (Hackett and Zhao, 1998, p. 235). Instead, a fundamental reform of the entire system is needed, together with a wider institutional reform of the very structures the media systems work within, our democracies. This will be a difficult task, due to powerful vested interests benefiting from the status quo, including media, political and economic elites. Reforms will need to be driven by campaigns mobilising public support across the political spectrum, to enable the citizens of the world to have a media system that works to strengthen democratic principles as opposed to undermining them. This task is challenging, but it will become easier once people begin to understand the media’s role in policymaking within our democracies.
Media has always had the power to transform ideas through what it represents. Most of the media we experience today is part of a global message which we absorb into our everyday lives; our customs, cultural coding, religious views and political standings. Due to satellite televesion, nations everywhere are able to tune into the world on a larger scale putting each nation under a single umbrella of opinions and views e...

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." This quote by A.J. Liebling illustrates the reality of where the media stands in today's society. Over the past twenty years there has been an increase in power throughout the media with regard to politics. The media's original purpose was to inform the public of the relevant events that occurred around the world. The job of the media is to search out the truth and relay that news to the people. The media has the power to inform the people but often times the stories given to the public are distorted for one reason or another. Using slant and sensationalism, the media has begun to shape our views in society and the process by which we choose our leaders. There was once a time when the government used the media as a medium to influence voters, committees, communities etc. Recently, it has been the presidents of major media outlets that have not only exercised power over the public but also made their presences felt in government and in the halls of congress. When the word democracy is thrown about it usually has to do with the rights or original intentions for a group or organization. The first group intended to be influenced by the media was the informed voter. Political parties along with the government used a variety of media resources to persuade the voter or in effect receive a vote for their cause. Returning to the thought of ?democracy? the question is, what was the original intention of the media with relation to the theme of democracy and the informed voter? To analyze this thought thoroughly one must first grasp an understanding of the basic definition of democracy.
As Americans we take pride in our liberating government. But, it is essential to ask how much we, the general public, know about our democracy. Because of the representative structure of our government, it is in our best interest to remain as knowledgeable as possible about political affairs so that we can play an active role in our democracy by voting for candidates and issues. The media, which includes print, television, and the internet, is our primary link to political events and issues. (For the purposes of this essay only print and television will be considered.) Therefore, in order to assess the success of our democracy it is necessary to assess the soundness of our media. We are lucky enough to have a media, in theory, free from government influences because of our rights to freedom of press and freedom of speech, but we are still subject to the media’s interpretation and presentation of politics, as is the danger when depending on any source for information. So, we must address how the media informs us; how successful it is at doing so; and how we should respond to it.
The current role of mass media in politics has definitely played a significant role in how view and react to certain events and issues of the nation. Newspapers, magazines, television and radio are some of the ways information is passed onto many of the citizens. The World Wide Web is also an information superhighway, but not all of the sources on the Internet are credible. Therefore, I will only focus on the main three types of media: written, viewed, and audible, and how they affect whether or not democracy is being upheld in the land of the free. The media includes several different outlets through which people can receive information on politics, such as radio, television, advertising and mailings. When campaigning, politicians spend large quantities of money on media to reach voters, concentrating on voters who are undecided. Politicians may use television commercials, advertisements or mailings to point out potentially negative qualities in their opponents while extolling their own virtues. The media can also influence politics by deciding what news the public needs to hear. Often, there are more potential news stories available to the media than time or space to devote to them, so the media chooses the stories that are the most important and the most sensational for the public to hear. This choice can often be shaped,
