Question

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every 10⁰C rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by 50⁰C, the rate of the reaction increases by about :

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

32 times

Answer 2

$\frac{Rateat50^{0}C}{Rateat{T_{1}}^{0}C} = (2)^{\frac{\Delta T}{T_{1}}} = (2)^{\frac{50}{10}} = 2^{3}$= 32 times
