The rate of a chemical reaction becomes double for every `10^(@)` rise in temperature. If the tempeature is raised by `50^(@)`C, the rate of reaction increases by about:

Options

A. 10 times
B. 24 times
C. 32 times
D. 64 times

Answer

C

Explanation

For every `10^(@)C` rise in temperature, rate is doubled thus, temperature coefficient of the reaction=2 ,
when the temperature is increased by `50^(@)C,` rate becomes `=2^((50//10))=2^(5)=32"times."`
