Chapter SH, Problem 19.6APP

To determine

To calculate: The factor by which the rate of reaction increases.

Answer to Problem 19.6APP

The rate of reaction increases by 8 times for a $30°\text{C}$ rise in temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Rate of a chemical reaction doubles when the temperature increases by $10°\text{C}$ .

Increase in temperature = $30°\text{C}$ .

Calculation:

Since, rate of a chemical reaction doubles when the temperature increases by $10°\text{C}$ , for a $30°\text{C}$ rise in temperature, the rate of reaction increases by $\text{2}\times \text{2}\times \text{2 = 8}$ times.

Conclusion:

The rate of reaction increases by 8 times for a $30°\text{C}$ rise in temperature.
