Chemistry Coursework Kate Aiken 11B Aim: The aim of this investigation is to find out how temperature affects the rate of reaction. I am going to investigate the changes caused to the solution of hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate when the temperature is changed. Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric acid Sodium Chloride + Water + Sulphur Dioxide+ Sulphur Na S O (aq) + 2HCL(aq) 2NaCL(aq) + H O(l) + SO (g) + S(s) Prediction: The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which it takes place. Temperature can increase and decrease the speed of the movement of particles in a substance therefore changing the rate of reaction. When a reaction mixture is heated up, each particle gets more energy and collides more with other particles.From my knowledge and research, my prediction is that if you heat a chemical reaction then it speeds up the process. This is because the particles have more energy and...
