Q. The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every $10^{\circ}C$ rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by $50^{\circ}C,$ the rate of the reaction increases by about

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

For every $10^{\circ}C$ rise of temperature, rate is doubled. Thus, temperature coefficient of the reaction $= 2$
When temperature is increased by $50^{\circ}$ rate becomes $=2^{\left(50/10\right)}=2^{5}$ times $= 32$ times
