An investigation on the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction. Michael Deery 11Y Chemistry Mr Caldwell The Problem We want to find out how changing the temperature effects the rate of reaction. Background knowledge The rate of reaction is the speed in which the reaction takes place. Many things can affect the rate of reactions. The more particles there are in a given space the more likely it is that they will bump into each other. The rate increases as particles hit each other more frequently giving more opportunities for a reaction to occur. The particles gain more energy therefore gain speed and particles are then more likely to collide. I have already completed two experiments on the rate of reaction on: Surface area Catalysts Concentration I am aware of the effect of these variables. Equation for sodium thiosulphate Na2S203 + 2HCL 2Nacl + H20 + SO2 + S (aq) (aq) (aq) (l) (g) (s) Predictions I predict that...
