Question 18
F

At 20 ∘C20\,^\circ\mathrm{C}20∘C, the cross under a flask disappears 60 s after sodium thiosulfate solution and hydrochloric acid are mixed.

The student repeats the experiment at 30 ∘C30\,^\circ\mathrm{C}30∘C using sodium thiosulfate solution that is half as concentrated. Everything else stays the same.

  • The rate is directly proportional to the concentration of sodium thiosulfate.
  • The rate doubles for every 10 ∘C10\,^\circ\mathrm{C}10∘C rise in temperature.

How long should the cross take to disappear in the repeat experiment?
