The rate of a chemical reaction is almost doubled for every 10°C rise in temperature. The rate will increase ______________ times, if the temperature rises from 10 to 100°C?
Correct answer: B. 512
- A. 256
- B. 512
- C. 112
- D. 612
Explanation
The temperature rises by 90°C, which equals nine 10°C intervals. Doubling nine times gives 2^9 = 512, so the rate becomes 512 times its original value.
