Disappearing X Experiment
Introduction
I am going to investigate the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate (thio) and hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Thiosulphate "" sodium chloride + water + sulphur
The reactants are both colourless, but one of the products, sulphur, is yellow, so we can use this fact to follow the rates of reaction. I am going to investigate how the concentration of the acid effects the speed of the reaction.

a faster reaction. If the solution is diluted, there aren't as many acid particles to collide with the thio particles and so the reaction is much slower.

Analysis/Conclusion
We discovered that 25cm3 hydrochloric acid and 25cm3 sodium thiosulphate solution had the fastest reaction rate, just as we had predicted.
