quicker the reaction‚ and so the faster the rate. Speed = fixed distance so Reaction rate = fixed amount of reaction time taken time taken From this we can see that the reaction rate is proportional to l ÷ time. THE DISAPPEARING CROSS The reaction used in this experiment is between dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate (formula Na2S2O3). You can see from the chemical equation below that one of the products is sulphur‚ which does not dissolve in water. [pic]
