Question

By an increase in temperature by $10K$, the rate of reaction becomes double. How many times the rate of reaction will be if the temperature increases from $303K$ to $353K$?

• A. $4$
• B. $8$
• C. $16$
• D. $32$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $32$

By increasing $10K$ temperature the rate of reaction becomes double. When the temperature is increased from $303K$ to $353K$, the rate increases in steps of ${10}^0$ and has been made $5$ times.

Hence, the rate of reaction should increase $2^5$ times i.e. $32$ times.

Hence, te correct option is $\text{D}$
