DO NOT spend more than 30 minutes on Question 1. 1, Sodium thiosulfate solution (Na,S,O,) reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride solution, sulfur dioxide gas, solid sulfur, and water. To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction, Paul performed different experiments using sodium thiosulfate and te hydrochloric acid. For each experiment, the same volume and concentration of sodium thiosulfate and dilute hydrochloric acid were reacted but at different temperatures. ‘The temperature was measured at the start of each experiment and the thermometer readings for Experiments 3-7 are shown in Figure 1. °c °c °c °c °c 15 2 | 28 J- 34 |- 36 — pis a [— 927 — 933, F 35 L- Hi3 | 20 - B26 Haz - Bss Experiment 3 Experiment 4 Experiment $ Experiment Experiment 7 Figure 1.
