An Investigation to See how Concentration Affects the Rate of Reaction
Prediction:
The higher the concentration of water mixed with the Hydrogen Chloride
and Sodium Thiosulpate the slower the rate of reaction will be.
Introduction:
By adding the water into the experiment we are diluting the solution
of the Hydrogen Chloride and Sodium Thiosulpate and therefore the
water is slowing down the reaction time.
The time taken for a reaction to take place is known as the rate of
reaction and there are many things that can change the rate of
reaction.
They are:
- The concentration of Sodium Thiosulpate and water.
- The surface area of Sodium Thiosulpate and water.
- What is done to the conical flask during the experiment (shaking).
- Fair testing.
- The temperature at which the reaction takes place,
- Using a catalyst.
Changing the concentration, will change the rate of reaction, this is
because the higher the concentration the more particles of Sodium
Thiosulpate there are to collide and react with water.
More collisions mean a faster reaction.

In this experiment there five different phases and in each a different factor of the Collision Theory was tested. The first phase was called, Nature of the Reactants and it had three parts to it. In the first part of it which was steps 1-4, 5 pieces of mossy zinc were put into 3ml of 2M H_2 〖SO〗_4 and during this time bubbles were produced. After a few minutes the zinc was removed from the acid and it was now clean zinc.
Investigation: How does the concentration of acid affect the rate of reaction? The aim of this investigation is to test how concentration affects the rate of reaction. My prediction for my investigation is that the higher the concentration, the faster the reaction will be.

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with concentrations or pressures of reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).[1] For many reactions the rate is given by a power law such as
Rate is determined on how fast something is being consumed in a reaction, or how
Chemical kinetics is the study and examination of chemical reactions regarding re-arrangement of atoms, reaction rates, effect of various variables, and more. Chemical reaction rates, are the rates of change in amounts or concentrations of either products or reactants. Concentration of solutions, surface area, catalysts, temperature and the nature of reactants are all factors that can influence a rate of reaction. Increasing the concentration of a solution allows the rate of reaction to increase because highly concentrated solutions have more molecules and as a result the molecules collide faster. Surface area also affects a
One vital process in the human body observed in chemistry is the idea of chemical kinetics. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of reactions, or how fast reactions occur.1 Three factors that affect chemical kinetics are concentration, temperature, and catalysis. As the concentration of a substance increases, the rate of the reaction also increases.1 This relationship is valid because when more of a substance is added in a reaction, it increases the likelihood that the
The rate of reaction is how quickly or slowly reactants in chemical reactants turn into products. A low reaction rate is when the reaction takes a long time to take place; hence, a reaction that occurs quickly has a high reaction rate. A rate refers to how slow or quick the product is produced. It is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions and speed up or slow down the rate of chemical reactions by altering three main factors which are temperature, concentration and the surface area. When the temperature of the reactants increases, the molecules vibrate at a more intense speed therefore colliding with each other more frequently and with increased energy resulting in a greater rate of reaction. Accordingly, as the temperature decreases the molecules will move slower, colliding less frequently and with decreased energy resulting in the rate of reaction decreasing. Concentration is how much solute is dissolved into a solution and is also a factor that affects the rate of reaction. When the concentration is greater this means there is an increased amount of reactant atoms and molecules resulting in a higher chance that collisions between molecules will occur. A higher collision rate means a higher reaction rate. Consequently at lower concentrations there are reduced chances of the molecules colliding resulting in a lower reaction rate. The measurement of how much an area of a solid is exposed is called the surface area. The quicker a reaction will occur the more finely divided the solid is. For example, a powdered solid will usually have a greater rate of reaction in comparison to a solid lump that contains the same mass for it has a lower surface area than the powdered solid.
