Q52 / 180 · KCET 2018 · Chemistry

The temperature coefficient of a reaction is \( 2 \). When the temperature is increased from \( 30^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) to
\( 90^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), the rate of reaction is increased by

  • A
    \( 150 \) times
  • B
    \( 410 \) times
  • C
    \( 72 \) times
  • Correct answer
    D
    \( 64 \) times

Solution

Using the formula, \( \frac{K_{T_{2}}}{K_{T_{1}}}=\mu^{\Delta T / 10} \)
\[ =2^{\frac{90-30}{10}} \]
\[ =2^{6}=64 \text { times. } \]

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
