What is a rate of reaction? A rate of reaction is the rate in which a reaction takes place. It is a way of speeding up a reaction. We can use both the kinetic and collision theory to try and explain their factors affecting the rate of reaction. To investigate the rate of reaction, we need to measure something that changes during the experiment. The kinetic theory says that matter is made up of tiny, invisible, moving particles. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move, heavier particles move more slowly...

Temperature ¡æ 20¡æ 30¡æ 40¡æ 50¡æ 60¡æ

Time taken for ¡®X¡¯ to disappear s 132 66 33 16.5 8.25

Rate of reaction 1/t 0.007 0.015 0.030 0.060 0.121

I also gained these results from my schoolteacher, I included them because they follow my prediction, the higher the temperature, the slower the time taken for ¡®X¡¯ to disappear therefore having a higher rate of reaction.

From these results I can see that for each 10¡æ, the time taken for the ¡®X¡¯ to disappear is halved and the rate of reaction is doubled.
