Hello I am Marcus Gonzalez a chemistry student at Texas State University and my lab partner, Colten and I where instructed to see if the combination and specific concentrations of sodium thiosulfate plus sodium hypochlorite are able to produce second degree burns on a person within 10 seconds. In order for a second degree burn to be possible we must reach a temperature of at least 56°C (133°F) in order to create burns up to third degree for the time the chemical stayed on the worker. Now the dumpster contained 6% mass sodium hypochlorite and 20.0% mass of sodium thiosulfate. Which when we calculate the molarity of each substance we get .81M in each substance.
In our experiment we decided to use .5 M instead of .81M and ran the test 6 times
