precipitate can be used to show how fast the reaction proceeds.
Five experiments were done using the apparatus shown.

flask. The conical flask was placed on a printed sheet of paper.
10cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid was added to the solution in the conical flask. A timer was started
immediately and the mixture was swirled.
The time taken for the printed words to disappear from view was measured.
Experiment 2
The large measuring cylinder was used to pour 40cm3 of aqueous sodium thiosulfate into a conical flask,
followed by 10cm3 of distilled water. The conical flask was placed on the printed sheet of paper.
10cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid was added to the solution in the conical flask. The timer was started
