Chemistry Coursework Planning Introduction When sodium thio sulphate and hydrochloric acid react they produce a cloudy precipitate. The two chemicals are both clear solutions and will react together to form a yellow precipitate of sulphur, the equation for which is as follows: Na2S2O3 + 2HCl (r) 2NaCl + SO2 + S + H2O As the solution will turn cloudy, we can observe the rate of reaction by placing a black cross underneath the beaker and seeing how long it takes for it to disappear. There are factors that affect this experiment such as temperature, concentration and time. I do not think that surface area will affect the experiment, as both chemicals are liquids. For my experiment I will study concentration as this is easily observed and can be easily varied. In this experiment, I hope to find out how the concentration of a solution will affect the rate of the reaction with another solution. I will do this...
