Potassium sulphite solution was prepared and divided into two portions. The first
portion gave a white precipitate when reacted with barium nitrate. On addition of
dilute hydrochloric acid the white precipitate disappeared.
a) Write the formula of the compound which formed as the white precipitate.
b) Write the equation for the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and
the compound whose formula is written in (a) above.
c) What observation would be made if one drop of potassium dichromate
solution was added to the second portion followed by dilute hydrochloric
acid?

  Sodium thiosulphate solution reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid according to the
  following equation.
  S₂O₃^2- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) ---> H₂O (l) + SO₂ + S(s)
  In an experiment to study how the rate of reaction varies with concentration,
  10cm³ of 0.4M sodium thiosulphate was mixed with 10cm³. Of 2M hydrochloric acid in a
  flask. The flask was placed in a white paper marked with across X.The time taken for the
  cross X become invisible when viewed from above was noted and recorded in the table
  below. The experiment was repeated three times as the temperature using the volumes in
  the table and the results recorded as shown in the table below.
  
  a) i) On the grid below, plot a graph of the volume of thiosulphate (Vertical
  axis) against time taken for the cross (X) to become invisible)
  ii) From the graph determine how long it would take for the cross to become
  invisible if the experiment was done.
  i) Using 6cm³ of the 0.4M thiosulphate
  ii) Using 6cm³ of 0.2M thiosulphate solution
  b) i) Using values for experiment I.Calculate
  i) Moles of thiosulphate used
  ii) Moles of hydrochloric acid used
  ii) Explain which of the two reactants in experiment I controlled the rate of
  the reaction? Explain
  c) Give two precautions which should be taken in experiment I controlled the rate of
  the reaction? Explain
