How Does Temperature Affect The Rate Of Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulphate And Hydrochloric Acid? HCl + Na2S2O3 › NaCl+ SO2 + S + H2O Hydrochloric acid + sodium thiosulphate › sodium chloride + sulphur dioxde + sulphur + water A reaction is a process by which a substance, or substances change to produce a new substance or substances. The rate of reaction is the speed at which products are formed and reactants disappear during a chemical reaction. For a reaction to occur the particles must collide with force, as they need enough energy to break the bonds to form new substances. In this reaction, a fine precipitate of sulphur forms. To measure the rate of reaction, we time how long it takes to form the precipitate. The collision theory says that Chemical reactions occur when particles of the reactants collide. They must collide with a certain minimum energy, called the activation energy. The...
