Five sets of experiment are conducted to study the eff ect of temperature on the rate of reaction. 50 cm3 of 0.2 mol dm3sodium thiosulphate at 35C are poured into a conical flask. The conical flask is then placed on a sheet of white paper with an X mark on it as shown in the diagram below.

DIAGRAM 10 cm of 0.2 mol dm hydrochloric acid are added to the sodium thiosulphate solution and a stopwatch is started immediately. Th e mixture in the conical flask is swirled. The stopwatch is stopped as soon as the X mark is no longer visible. The experiment is repeated by changing only the temperature, as shown in the table below.
