Answer 1

I think that the trend that would be seen in the time column of the data table would be that the number of seconds would increase. I know this because for each flask, the concentration of sodium thiosulfate decreases, since less of it is being mixed with more water. Also, when the concentration of a substance decreases, then the reaction rate also decreases, as there will be fewer collisions with sulfuric acid if there are fewer moles of sodium thiosulfate. When there are fewer collisions in a reaction, the reaction itself will take longer, and so when the sodium thiosulfate is diluted, the reaction takes more time.

Hope this helps you and any others :)
