Rate of reaction Aim: To determine how changing the concentration of a reactant (Na S O ) affects the rate of the reaction. Prediction: I predict that when we increase the concentration, the rate will increase; therefore there are more particles and a greater probability of a collision. If more particles are present in the same volume, they will be closer together. This means they have a higher probability of colliding and speeding up the reaction. If we double the concentration, the rate will also double.
