SCIENCE YEAR 10 COURSEWORK-Investigating the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction

I am going to investigate how temperature affects the rate of the reaction:

                               

                                      2HCL (aq) +NS203 (aq)            S(s) + 2NaCL (aq) +SO2 + H2O

Background Information

This reaction is a precipitate reaction as Sulphur is being produced. This reaction does not need a lot of heat to produce the precipitate. The rate of a reaction can be increased by applying any of the following:

                                       

                                      Increasing temperature- the particles have more energy so they are travelling at a higher speed, increasing the chance of collision

                                      Increasing concentration-there are more particles in the same amount of space so they are more likely to collide

                                      Adding a catalyst- the catalyst makes the particles react more easily and quicker

                                      Increasing Surface area- Allows the particles more space where they can collide with ...
