Question

By what factor does the rate of a reaction increase when
a. Temperature increase from $300K$ to $360K$ (temperature coefficient of reaction is $2$).
b. Temperature increase from $300K$ to $325K$ (temperature coefficient of reaction is $3$).

Answer 1

$a)$ ${\mu }^{\left(\frac{T_2-T_1}{10}\right)}=2^{\left(\frac{360-300}{10}\right)}=2^6$ times.

Rate of reaction is increased by $2^6$ times.

$b)$ ${\mu }^{\left(\frac{325-300}{10}\right)}=3^{2.5}$

Rate of reaction is increased by $3^{2.5}$ times.
