An aqueous reaction is carried out between sodium thiosulfate solution and a limiting volume of hydrochloric acid. As the reaction proceeds, the rate of sulfur precipitation decreases.
Explain, in terms of collision theory and particles, why the rate of this reaction decreases as the reactants are consumed.
