The rate of a chemical reaction precisely doubles for every rise in temperature. If the temperature is raised by , by what exact integer multiplier will the absolute reaction rate increase?

Question

The rate of a chemical reaction precisely doubles for every $10^\circ 	ext{C}$ rise in temperature. If the temperature is raised by $50^\circ 	ext{C}$, by what exact integer multiplier will the absolute reaction rate increase?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The temperature coefficient () is 2. A shift of encompasses exactly five distinct jumps (). Thus, the overall compounded rate multiplier is exactly .
