EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF REACTION. AIM: The aim of this investigation is to study how temperature would affect the rate of reaction. PREDICTION: The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which it takes place. Temperature is a major factor in this as increasing or decreasing the temperature changes the movement of particles in a substance therefore changing the rate of reaction. When a reaction mixture is heated up, each particle in it acquires more energy and collides more with other particles. I have shown below what the particles state would be when either hot or cold. I predict that if you increase the temperature of a particular reaction, you increase the speed at which it takes place. This is simply because the particles carry more energy and collide more often thus speeding up the reaction time. Particles, when moving faster, collide with greater power. The reaction...
