Investigating the effect temperature has on Rates of reaction Aim: My aim is to find out the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid Prediction: I think that the higher the temperature the faster the reaction will take place. This is because when heat is given to the particles, they increase in the amount of energy they have. When this happens the speed at which the move increases and they also move around a lot more. For a reaction to happen, the reactants must first collide with each other. However, just colliding is not enough. For a reaction to take place, the reactants must collide with enough energy. This is known as activation energy. Without this energy particles will not react, they may collide but they will just bounce off each other. The diagrams simple explain how the process works. In the unsuccessful reaction both particles...
