Investigating the effects of the changing concentration of sodium thiosulphate on the rate of reaction. This experiment will explore how the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid is affected by changing the concentration between the two. A rate of reaction is how fast a reaction happens or is completed. The main factors that affect the rate of reaction are:> Temperature; the higher the temperature, the faster the rate of reaction. This is not suitable for this experiment, as two different liquids are used, and keeping the temperature constant during the experiment and in both liquids would make the results inaccurate and unreliable.> A catalyst; there is no particular catalyst for this experiment.> Concentration; As concentration increases, rate of reaction increases. Only one substance needs to have the concentration changed: this is Sodium Thiosulphate. The equation for this experiment is: Sodium + Hydrochloric ~> Sodium + Water + Sulphur...
