Sodium Thiosulphate when added to Hydrochloric acid reacts and gives a product, But does changing the temperature and the concentration change the rate of reaction? I am going to try and change the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid. 2HCl+ Na2S2O3 2NaCl+ SO2+ S + H2O. To do this I will produce two experiments, the first of which I will change the temperature in and the second in which I will change the concentration. We predicted that the higher the temperature the faster the reaction. Raising the temperature makes the particles move faster. This means that the particles collide more frequently with each other and the rate of the reaction increases. Heating the solution also increases the number of particles with activation energy which again causes more collisions and therefore speeds up the reaction. We also predicted that the lower the concentration of Sodium Thiosulphate the slower the rate of...
