The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every 10^ C rise in temperature. If the temperature increases by 60^ C , the rate of reaction increases

Options

  1. A20 times
  2. B32 times
  3. C64 times
  4. D128 times

Correct answer

C. 64 times

Step-by-step solution

For every 10^ C rise in temperature, the rate of a chemical reaction doubles thus, for 60^ C rise in temperature the rate of reaction increases by 2^ n . where, n= T 10 = 60 10 =6 r₁=2^ n r=2⁶ r r₁=64 r So, when the temperature increases by 60^ C , then the rate of reaction increases by 64 times.
