Explain Vant' Hoff rule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Van.t Hoff, a Nobel Laureate in thermo chemistry.proposed that, with the increase of every `10)^(@)C,` the rate of metabolic activities doubles. This rule is reffered to as the Van.t Hoffs rule. Van.t Hoff.s rule can also be stated in reverse saying that the reaction rate is halved with the decrease of every `10^(@)C.` The effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction is expressed in terms of temperature coefficient of jo value.`Q _(10)` of `Q_(10)` values are estimated taking the ratio between the rate of a reaction at `X^(@)C` and rate of reaction at `(X-10^(@)C).`In the living systems the `Q_(10)` value is about 2.0. If the` Q_(10)` value is 2.0, means, for every. `10^(@)C `increase, the rate of metabolism doubles.
