The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by , the rate of the reaction increases by about :
- (A)24 times
- (B)32 times✓ Correct
- (C)64 times
- (D)10 times
Answer: (B)
Solution
If the rate doubles for each , then a rise of covers five such steps, and the rate is multiplied by once for every step. The overall factor is , so the reaction goes about 32 times faster.
