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

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
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)) = 2^(5) "times" = 32` times
