Question
The rate of a reaction is ≈ doubled for every 10°C rise in temperature. If the temperature is raised by 50°C, the reaction rate increases by about
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
The temperature coefficient of a reaction is ≈ 2. When the temperature is increased by Δ T, the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 2^(Δ T/10). Given Δ T = 50°C, the rate of reaction increases by 2^(50/10) = 2^5 = 32 times.
