The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by , the rate of the reaction increases by about :
  1. (A)24 times
  2. (B)32 times✓ Correct
  3. (C)64 times
  4. (D)10 times

Answer: (B)

Solution

If the rate doubles for each , then a rise of covers five such steps, and the rate is multiplied by once for every step. The overall factor is , so the reaction goes about 32 times faster.
