Question

Rate of a reaction increases by 16 times on increasing the temperature by 30 K . Then temperature coefficient of the reaction is nearly\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Let the temperature coefficient be $x$; Let the rate at TK be r . Then rate I becomes $x \mathrm{r}$ at $(\mathrm{T}+10) \mathrm{K}$ and $x^{2} \mathrm{r}$ at $(\mathrm{T}+20) \mathrm{K}$ and $x^{3} \mathrm{r}$ at $(\mathrm{T}+30) \mathrm{K}$\ This means $x^{3}=16$\ $x=2.52$\
