The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) rise in temperature. If the temperature increases by \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the rate of reaction increases

  1. A 20 times
  2. B 32 times
  3. C 64 times
  4. D 128 times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 64 times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For every \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) rise in temperature, the rate of a chemical reaction doubles thus, for \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) rise in temperature the rate of reaction increases by \(2^{n}\). where, \(n=\frac{\Delta T}{10}=\frac{60}{10}=6\)…
