Question

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every 10� rise in temperature. If the temperature increases by 60�, the rate of reaction increases

A

$20\, times$

B

$32\, times$

C

$64 \,times$

D

$128\, times$

Answer

$64 \,times$

Explanation

Solution

For every 10� rise in temperature, the rate of a chemical reaction doubles thus, for 60� rise in temperature the rate of reaction increases by $(2)^6$ = 64 times.
