Rates of Reaction
Coursework

Aim

The aim of this investigation is to find out and observe how temperature affects the rate of reaction. I am going to investigate the changes caused to the solution of hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate when the temperature is changed.

Hypothesis

I know that 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.

Therefore, from my own knowledge, I can make the prediction 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 where these collisions contain enough energy to break the energy barrier. Collisions between particles are useless unless they break the energy......
