About

My parents could not pay my school contributions at the beginning of Form 1. Our family also lacked basic needs such as food. Throughout these difficulties I forced myself to study harder and harder in order to get a standard life in the future. One day I will go to Form 5 and become a doctor. I can only get there by studying hard and respecting my parents and teachers. I want to tell everybody that studying hard will eradicate poverty.

Dear Students,
How are you? Your exams must be coming up shortly and we are hopeful that you are studying very hard in order to do well. It is so important that you do well so you will have the freedom to work in the career that you choose. I am an artist and i always wish I could go back to school to learn more and be able to excel. You are very lucky to get this education . . . Spend your time studying and you will be happy that you did!

This year has gone by quickly and you just have a month to study hard and make the best of this year.
We are all thinking of you and wish you the very best with your exams.
Fondly, Kate Adams

Hello Jonathan,
today i would like to share with you about these things which I have written down.
Reaction between Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid
The effect of concentration of the reactant on the rate of a reaction can be studied easily by the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid.

Sodium thiosulphate reacts with dilute acid to produce sulphur dioxide, sulphur and water. Sulphur dioxide is a soluble gas and dissolves completely in aqueous solution. The sulphur formed however is insoluble and exist in the mixture as a white or pale yellow precipitate or a colloid that gives a milky appearance and makes the solution opaque. Therefore the rate of the reaction can be studied by monitoring the opaqueness of the reaction. This can be easily done by measuring the time taken (t) for forming a certain amount of sulphur.
In this experiment, the reaction is carried out by mixing the reactants in a conical flask, and placing the conical flask on the top of a piece of white paper that has a cross mark on it. Before the reaction starts, the mark is clearly visible from the top of the conical flask through the solution. However, as the reaction proceeds, sulphur precipitates that make the solution more opaque and eventually the mark gets completely masked. The time taken (t) for the mark to totally disappear indicates how fast the reaction has occurred.
We can plot a graph between 1/t (in second) and the concentration of sodium thiosulphate by taking 1/t along ordinate axis and concentration of Na2S2O3 along abscissa. The graph should be a straight slopping line.
