Question on Chemical Kinetics

If the rate of a particular chemical reaction is doubled by a 10° raise in temperature, by what factor will the rate of the reaction increase with a 100° raise in temperature?


Answer:


For every 10° raise in temperature the rate of the chemical reaction is doubled, so for a 100° raise in temperature the rate should increase by (2 ^ 10) times i.e. 1024 times.
