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

Temperature coefficient `mu =2, (Delta T)/(mu_(=(k_(2))/(k_(1)))^(10)),(50)/(2^(10))=2^(5)=32 =(k_(2))/(k_(1))` Therefore `32k_(1) =k_(2)`
