GCSE Chemistry - Sodium Thiosulphate Coursework Aim: We must produce a piece of coursework investigating the rates of reaction, and the effect different changes have on them. The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant or the rate of formation of a product during a chemical reaction. It is measured by dividing 1 by the time taken for the reaction to take place. There is five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), pressure (in gases), surface are (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect concentration will have on a reaction. This is because it is the most practical to investigate - it would take longer to prepare a solid in powdered and unpowdered form, rather than temperature, and it is difficult to get accurate readings due to the...
