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. 24 times
B. 32 times
C. 64 times
D. 10 times

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Temperature coefficient `mu =2 `
`""_(mu ) (DeltaT)/(10)=(k_(2))/(k_(1)),`
`""_(2)(50)/(10)=2^(5)=32=(k_(2))/(k_(1))`
therefore `32 k_(1)=k_(2)`
