Does temperature effect the rate of reaction. Introduction. I want to find out whether or not temperature speeds up or slows down the rate of reaction. The term "rate of reaction" means the time it takes for reactants to turn into products. Collision theory states the more collisions the faster the rate of reaction will be. If the temperature of a reaction is increased the particles get more energy, they move faster and due to this you get more collisions, and more collisions there are the faster the rate of reaction will be. Increasing the surface area of a reactant makes more exposed area and a higher chance of collisions and this will speed up the rate of reaction. Concentration will effect the rate of reaction, which will lead to more reactants per volume and also more collisions which higher the rate of reaction. During this investigation I will mix these three reactants. Sodium thiosulphate, water and hydrochloric...
