    Rate of Reaction Investigation Aim: To determine how changing the concentration of a reactant (Na S O ) affects the rate of the reaction. Prediction: I predict that when we increase the concentration, the rate will increase; therefore there are more particles and a greater probability of a collision. If more particles are present in the same volume, they will be closer together. This means they have a higher probability of colliding and speeding up the reaction. If we double

    Rates of Reaction Investigation Reactions happen when the reactant particles collide and turn into a product. Sodium and chlorine, when reacted, they give us a compound Sodium Chloride (salt). Chemical reactions can be very difficult to undo. When metal rust this is a slow reaction, however burning, this is very quick. A speed on which the reaction takes place is called and rate of reaction. There are many ways on which to speed up the reaction. The most common is to speed up the collision
