Question

The activation energy for a hypothetical reaction `A rarr X` is `12.49 kcal mol^(-1)`. If temperature is raised to `305` form `295 K`, the reaction rate increased by `0.002 kcal L^(-1) mol^(-1)` is almost equal to
A. `60%`
B. `50%`
C. `100 %`
D. Unpredictable

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
The rate of reaction becomes doubled for `10^(@)C` rise in temperature. Hence, `100%` increase in reaction rate.

Answer 2

Correct Answer - C
The rate of reaction becomes doubled for `10^(@)C` rise in temperature. Hence, `100%` increase in reaction rate.
