Question

The velocity of a reaction is doubled for every ${10}^{o}C$ rise in temperature. If the temperature is raised to ${50}^{o}C$, the reaction velocity increases by about:

• A. $12$ times
• B. $16$ times
• C. $32$ times
• D. $50$ times

Answer 1

The correct option is C $32$ times

$\frac{Rateat50°C}{RateatT1°C}=(2{)}^{\frac{\Delta T}{T1}}$

$⟹(2{)}^{\frac{50}{10}}$

$⟹2^5=32times$
