Chapter 16, Problem 56AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Increase in rate of reaction when temperature changes from $30°\text{C}$ to $100°\text{C}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ratio of rates of reaction at two different temperatures that differ by $10°\text{C}$ is termed as temperature coefficient. It is denoted by $\gamma$. The expression for temperature coefficient is as follows:

  $\gamma =\frac{\text{rate constant at}\left(\text{T+10}\right)\text{ °C}}{\text{rate constant at T °C}}$
