What effect does temperature have on the rate of a reaction? Aim of this reaction To see the effects of a change in temperature and concentration on the rate of a reaction, The reaction that will be used is: Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric Acid Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) Sodium Chloride + Water + Sulphur Dioxide + 2NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + SO2 (g) + Sulphur S (s) For my experiment I am going to change the temperature of the solution. When the temperature is being varied a water bath will be used to heat up the acid and thiosulphate to the necessary temperature. The Chemistry Some chemical reactions, such as explosions, happen very quickly while others like rusting, occur very slowly. The rate of reaction can be affected by a number of factors: temperature, concentration and pressure, adding a catalyst, surface area/particle size and light. The one that I am going to be investigating and explaining about...
