Rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and hydrochloric Acid Reaction rates can be explained by the collision theory. The rate of reaction depends on how often and how hard the reacting particles collide with each other. The basic idea is that particles have to collide in order to react, and they have to collide hard enough as well. There are four main factors that can increase the number of collisions and therefore the reaction rate. When the temperature increases the particles move quicker, and the quicker particles are moving the more collisions they will have. If the solution is made more concentrated it means there are more particles of reactant between the water molecules, which means that collisions between the reacting particles is more likely. If one reactant is a solid then breaking it up into smaller pieces will increase the surface area. This means the particles will have a greater area to...
