Light Transmission through a Precipitate
Flowchart content
Light shield
Sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid react in conical flask
The transmission of light through the reaction mixture is measured using a datalogger and light sensor
As the sulfur precipitate gradually forms, the solution becomes cloudier
The amount of light transmitted is a measurement of the reaction's progression
Measure and record the time taken for the light intensity to drop to a minimum value
Calculate the rate of reaction by calculating 1/reaction time
Light source transmits light through reaction mixture
Information
- Description
- This illustration is part of the series on Rate of Reaction Chemistry course. It shows the steps for capturing light transmission through a precipitate, which is a common Chemistry test requirement.
