Emil Kalaria What Affects the Rate of Reaction Investigation Plan I am going to be investigating how temperature affects the rate of reaction by experimenting with sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid will be heated to different temperatures and a thermometer will be used to measure the temperature of the acid before I test it. This is to discern whether heat affects the rate of a chemical reaction. This means whether heat will speed up a reaction, slow it down, or whether it doesn't affect it at all. My aim is to see the effects of a change in temperature on the rate of a reaction. The reaction equation that will take place is: Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric Acid Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) My one variable will be the temperature (while everything else will remain constant). The temperature will be varied using water bath with a test-tube, and a beaker half-filled with water,...
