Preliminary Research and Background Knowledge The rate of reaction is the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. We can measure the rate of reaction by timing how quickly the products are made. Also if you know the activation energy required for a reaction to take place, it will help in industry as they can see when how much energy is required for them to add to the reactants to produce the final product quickly. As far as I know, when you react sodium thiosulphate solution with hydrochloric acid you should obtain: - Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric AcidSodium Chloride + Water + Sulphur Dioxide + Sulphur Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) 2NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + SO2 (g) + S (s) Usually only a small percentage of the substances interacting have the minimum amount of kinetic energy a molecule must possess for it to react. When the reactants...
