CHEMISTRY COURSWORK Planning Introduction During a chemical reaction, a reactant can be converted into products. The reaction rate tells us the time the reaction had taken to form a product in a certain amount of reactant consumed. The five factors that affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration, pressure, surface area, and catalysts. By watching how quickly the sulphur is formed, I think it will be possible to investigate the effects of temperature and concentration, pressure, catalyst using this reaction. To find the effects one may increase the temperature, concentration, pressure, or increase the rate of the number of catalysts present. But that is not my aim. I have to investigate how temperature and concentration effect the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. As the sulphur is formed as one of the results of the reaction, it makes it increasingly difficult to...
