Reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Thiosulphate Introduction I will be conducting two experiments to determine how two factors affect the rate of reaction in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate. It is a precipitation experiment. The equation allows us to see how this experiment will help us find how rate of reaction changes Sodium thiosulphate + Hydrochloric acid ---- Sodium chloride + Sulphur + Sulphur dioxide + Water Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl(aq) ---- 2NaCl(aq) + S(s) + SO2(g) + H2O(l) The main factors that affect the rate of reaction of any experiment are -Pressure. By reducing the volume in which the same amount of particles exists the pressure is increased. Once the same number of particles is in a smaller area there is less space in which to move and so the particles are more likely to collide each other. Using a catalyst is another method I could use. A catalyst...
