For a chemical reaction with the rise in 100 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.

Q. Assertion : For a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by $1 0^{\circ}$ 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.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

If assertion is true but reason is false.

If both assertion and reason are false.

For a chemical reaction with the rise in $1 0^{0} c$ 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.
