... e way while doing the experiment. Ties and hair should be tucked out of the way, so they do not make contact with any of the chemicals. It would also be preferable to wear a scientific apron, however this is not essential.

We should also try our best not to spill any chemicals, and we must not eat or drink in the lab while dealing with these harmfull chemicals, as they can get on to our hands.

Prediction

I think that the higher the concentration we use of sodium thiosulphate, the faster the reaction will happen.

The reason I think that this will happen is because, in a reation particles collide to give the end results of the reaction. So if there is a higher concentration of particles on a solution, then there will be a high number of collisions. If there are a high number of particles colliding, then there is a higher chance of them reacting.
