The rate of a chemical reaction doubled for every 10 °C rise in temperature. If the temperature is raised by 50 °C, the rate of reaction will be |
50 times higher 32 times higher 40 times higher 20 times higher |
32 times higher |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 32 times higher The rate of reaction doubles for every 10 °C rise. Temperature increase: $\frac{50^\circ\text{C}}{10^\circ\text{C}} = 5 \text{ intervals}$ Rate increase: $\text{Rate factor} = 2^5 = 32$ |
