2. We did a great little experiment with sodium thiosulfate:
Na2S2O3(aq)HCl(aq)2NaCl(aq)+ H2O(l)+ SO2(g)+ S(s)
A. Describe 3 ways that we could ‘follow’ this experiment in order to measure the rate of the reaction. ( 3 marks)
B. Sketch a graph showing the effect of concentration on rate. Label your axes and sketch the shape of the curve. (3 mark)
C. The Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) distribution is a way to visualize the effect various factors have on the rates of a reaction. Sketch 2 M-B graphs to show how the effect of increasing temperature would affect a reaction. (3 marks)
