RP3: Temperature affecting rate of reaction

Cards (1)

  • Effect of temperature on initial rate:
    1. Idea of using disappearing cross or colorimetry
    2. Puts acid or thiosulfate into container
    3. Add second reactant and start timing
    4. Repeat at different temperatures and record time for cross to disappear
    5. Idea of ensuring other variables
    6. Keep other volumes and concentrations constant
    7. Plot 1/t against temperature
    8. Determine rate by using shape of graph
