Question

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

• A. 10 times
• B. 20 times
• C. 30 times
• D. 50 times

Answer 1

The correct option is C 30 times

The velocity increase = $2^5$ = 32 times
so nearest value = 30 times
