The Rate constant of a reaction doubles with a ___________ rise in temperature.

Correct option is B

Sol: The correct answer is (b) 10 degrees

Key Points:

• ​The rate constant of a reaction doubles with a 10 degrees rise in temperature.
• This relationship is commonly observed and is supported by the Arrhenius equation, which describes how the rate constant increases with temperature.
  
• This is due to an increase in the number of particles that have the minimum energy required.
  

​Arrhenius equation:

$$k= Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}$$

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor (frequency factor)

$$E_a$$​​= activation energy (the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur)

R= universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K)

T= absolute temperature in Kelvin
