Prediction I predict that every time the temperature increases by 10 degrees the rate of reaction will double. I also predict that the rate of reaction will increase dramatically, because rate of reaction increases when you increase the concentration of one of the reactants and rate of reaction also increases when you increase temperature. When temperature increases so should the rate of reaction, the equation for this is - Nas2O3(aq)+2Hc1(aq) -> 2=C1(aq)_+H2O(1)+S(s)+So2(g) There are many factors that affect the rate of reaction, for example - * Collision Theory - Reaction rates are explained perfectly by collision theory. It's really simple. The rate of reaction simply depends on how often and how hard the reacting particles collide with each other. * Temperature...
