RATES OF REACTIONS INVESTIGATION Planning The aim of my experiment is to find out how temperature affects the rate of the reaction between sodium thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid. I will be investigating what changes I will see to the speed of reaction when I increase the temperature of the solution. You can get very quick reactions or very slow ones. Quick chemical reactions such as explosions, and others such as rusting occur very slowly. There are many factors, which affect the rate of reaction, such as concentration and pressure, temperature, adding a catalyst, surface area/particle size and light. My experiment will be based on how temperature affects the rate of reaction. Changes in temperature change the kinetic energy of the particles and hence the numbers of successful collisions with enough energy to break existing bonds and make product parties. When the temperature increases, the particles move around a lot more quickly and so there...
