Experiment 2: Reaction Order and Rate Laws Name: Andrew Cordova Lab Partners: None Date of Experiment: February 20th Location: My house Course Number: CHE112 Abstract: This week we experimentally determined the rate constant k for the reaction 2HCl (aq) +Na2S2O3 (aq) → S (s) + SO2 (aq) + H2O (l) + 2NaCl (aq). In order to do this the average reaction time was recorded in seconds during two trials. The data from the experiment shows this reaction is in the first order overall: rate=.47s-1 [HCl]0 [Na2S2O3]1. These findings seem to be consistent with the expected results Experiment: First prepared a well plate with the appropriate amounts of distilled water, HCl, and Na2S2O3 in each well according to the lab manual. The well where the reaction …show more content…

Show your work. Note that your answer will probably not be an even whole number as it is in the examples, so round to the nearest whole number. m = 0 *see calculations above Determine the reaction order for Na2S2O3 using calculations described in the Background. Show your work. Note that your answer will probably not be an even whole number as it is in the examples. m=1 *see calculations above Write the specific rate law for the reaction between HCl and Na2S2O3. rate=.47s-1 [HCl]0 [Na2S2O3]1. What is the purpose of holding the initial concentration of one reactant constant during each trial? This process allows us to determine the reaction order. When changing the concentration of the one particular reactant we are able to calculate the order based on the change in reaction rate. This question refers to the example data given below. Using the rate law and the experimental values given below, calculate k. 1.2M/s *see calculations Rate= k [F2] [ClO2] Experiment [F2] (M) [ClO2] (M) Initial rate (M/S) 1 0.5 0.5 0.300
