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

Options

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

Answer

B

Explanation

(b) : `roverset(10^(@)"rise")to2" r "overset("Further "10^(@)" rise")to4" r "overset("Further "10^(@)" rise")to8" r "overset("Further "10^(@)" rise")to16" r "overset("Further "10^(@)" rise")to32" r"`
Alternatively, as rate of reaction is doubled for every `10^(@)` rise in temperature, increase in reaction rate `=2^(5)=32` times.
