Question

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every 10°C rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by 50°C, the rate of the reaction increases by about (A) 10 times (B) 24 times (C) 32 times (D) 64 times

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For every 10°C rise of temperature, rate is doubled. Thus, temperature coefficient of the reaction = 2 When temperature is increased by 50° rate becomes =2(50/10)=25 times = 32 times

Q. The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every $1 0^{\circ} C$ rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by $5 0^{\circ} C,$ the rate of the reaction increases by about

$10$ times

$24$ times

$32$ times

$64$ times

For every $1 0^{\circ} C$ rise of temperature, rate is doubled. Thus, temperature coefficient of the reaction $= 2$
When temperature is increased by $5 0^{\circ}$ rate becomes $= 2^{(50/10)} = 2^{5}$ times $= 32$ times

Q. The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every 10∘C rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by 50∘C, the rate of the reaction increases by about

10 times

24 times

32 times

64 times
