Rate of Reaction Introduction I will be investigating the affect temperature has on the rate of a reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. There are many ways to increase the rate of reaction including: an increase in temperature, an increase in the concentration, an increase in the surface area, an increase in pressure and adding a suitable catalyst. I plan to conduct an experiment using the solution of dilute sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to observe the affect that temperature has on the rate of reaction. Equipment list The following apparatus will be used in the experiment: o Heat proof mat o White tile o Bunsen Burner o Tripod o Gauze o Sodium Thiosulphate o Hydrochloric acid o Distilled water o Measuring cylinders (x3) o Beakers (x3) o Conical flask o Thermometer o White paper with a black cross o Stop clock o Safety goggles o Tongs Diagram Increasing concentration The rate of a reaction can be increased by...
