Temperature coefficient of a reaction is 2 . When temperature is increased from 30^ C to 90^ C , the rate of reaction is increased by
Options
- A60 times
- B64 times
- C150 times
- D400 times
Correct answer
B. 64 times
Step-by-step solution
Temperature coefficient (n)= Rate constant at T+10^ C Rate constant at T^ C =2 i.e., For each 10^ C rise in temperature, rate becomes two times for the reaction array cc Temperature & Rate of reaction 30^ C & R₁ 40^ C & 2 R₁ 50^ C & (2)² R₁ 60^ C & (2)³ R₁ 70^ C & (2)⁴ R₁ 80^ C & (2)⁵ R₁ 90^ C & (2)⁶ R₁ array Rate of reacation at 90^ C will become (2)⁶=64 times.
