Lily Cai 14th March 2005 THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON RATE OF REACTION Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out if the reaction rate of sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid will be affected by a temperature change. Prediction: I predict that as a result of increasing the temperature of the sodium thiosulphate, the rate of reaction will be faster. Because of the increase in temperature, the particles will gain more kinetic energy. This will therefore cause them to move faster and produce more successful collisions, causing the rate to increase. Plan: Na S O + 2HCl S + SO + 2NaCl + H O Before carrying out the experiment, I must first of all begin the preliminary work. This part of the experiment will enable me to choose an appropriate scale of temperatures, and to decide upon the amount of sodium thiosulphate solution that will be used (the concentration). After doing this,...
