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`,
`mu^((DeltaT)/(10))=(k_(2))/(k_(1)) , 2^((50)/(10)) =2^(5) =32 =(k_(2))/(k_(1))" " ` Therefore `32k_(1)=k_(2)`
