Question

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every ${10}^{o}C$ rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by ${50}^{o}C$, the rate of the reaction increases by about:

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C 32 times

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every ${10}^{o}C$ rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by ${50}^{o}C$, the rate of the reaction increases by about 32 times.

$\frac{50}{10}=5$

$2^5=32$
