How does changing the temprature effect the rate of a chemical reaction?

My experiment will involve heating a test tube of sodium thiosuulphate and hydrocloric acid. A bunsen burner and a water bath will be used to heat the two chemicals. The bunsen burner will be on a heat proof mat and we will also wear goggles for saftey. The person that looks down the flask and stops the clock each time will be the same. The same equipment for carrying each chemicals will also be used for fairness, my prediction is that the hotter the two chemicals are, the quicker the reaction will happen. With more heat the particles will move around more, causing a faster reaction.

Equipment

flask- for combining the two chemicals thick glass so can handle high tempratures tripod to hold up the bunsen burner - to heat the water bath

Join now!

water bath - consists of beaker and water - the test tubes will be placed in here

heat proof mat - for saftey, where the bunsen is placed

goggles - for saftey, incase chemicals splash

pippet - to transport small amount of chemicals

test tubes - for carrying and heating chemicals

thermometer - for testing temprature

cross on cardbord - to see wheather the mixture has gone cloudy or not

I am going to use a concentration of i parts water this will increase the expirement time as so when we get to 60° their is still ...
