The aim of this coursework is to investigate how the temperature can affect the rate of reaction. I will use sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid as the reactants of the experiment, and then vary the temperature to see the speed at which they react.

Chemistry Coursework Rate of Reaction Candidate name: YangMei (Juliana) Plant 11K Candidate number: 8087 Rates of reaction Aim: The aim of this coursework is to investigate how the temperature can affect the rate of reaction. I will use sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid as the reactants of the experiment, and then vary the temperature to see the speed at which they react. Scientific Background: The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place. The rate at which the reaction takes place cannot be worked out from its chemical reactions, but by measuring how much reactant is used up in a certain time, or how much product is formed at a certain time. Whatever the matter, the amount of product formed at the end of the experiment should always equal to the amount of reactants at the start of the experiment, because all chemical equations are balanced even when the product is...
