Q. Assertion : For a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by $10^{\circ}$ the rate constant is nearly doubled.
Reason: At $t + 10$, the fraction of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy gets doubled.

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

For a chemical reaction with the rise in $10^{0} c$ the fraction of molecules having energy equal or greater than activation energy is doubled and hence the rate of reaction is doubled or we may say rate constant is doubled.
