ROXANNE DABIRI INTRODUCTION I will be conducting an experiment on the rate of reaction for my GCSE coursework. . We will be reacting sodium thiosulphate with hydrochloric acid. I will be investigating the effects had on rate of reaction. When sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric are mixed, a yellow precept of sulphur is produced. The solution becomes increasingly difficult to see through as more and more sulphur is formed. WHAT IS RATE OF REACTION? The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction happens. Rate is measuring of the change that happens in a single unit of time. Cause its not enough to know if a reaction is fast or slow. We can't work out the rate of reaction from its chemical equation. Equations can only tell us how much product we can get. They don't say how quickly it is made. We can only find the rate by actually doing experiments. During a reaction, we...
