Exponential Decay Case Study

Question Set:

1. What kind of graph results when you plot ml of thiosulfate against time in seconds?
2. What does this tell you about the rate of the reaction?
3. What do you think would have happened to the reaction time if you had reduced the hydrochloric acid by half? Explain why.
4. What should you have learned about reaction rates?

1. The kind of graph that resulted when I plotted the mL of thiosulfate against the time in seconds was an exponential decay.
2. The graph tells us that the rate of reaction increases when there is more thiosulfate as the reaction took more time when there was less thiosulfate. This is shown on the graph by the increasing volume of thiosulfate corresponded to a smaller amount of seconds.
3. If we
