Aim The aim of this experiment is to determine whether the concentration of sodium thiosulphate water and hydrochloric acid have any effect on the rate of reaction between the chemicals. I believe that the concentration of sodium thiosulphate has a direct effect on the rate at which the reaction occurs. Preliminary work Having used the internet to Research I have found some useful things on rates of reaction. One of those being heat effects the rate of reaction and also the more the concentrated the substance is the more there is to react and therefore the more violently it will react. I'm not sure about the actual rate at which the substance reacts. I also found out that particles only react with each other if they have enough energy to force the reaction this is called activation energy. As water has little or no energy I think this will dilute the substance therefore making...
