Question

In many cases, an increase in temperature of only ___ ^oC will approximately double the rate of a reaction in a homogeneous system.

Answer 1

We all known that, with increasing temperature, rate of reaction also increases. Generally rate of reaction depends on effective colligens of reactant molecule. With increasing temperature, effective colligens of molecules increases and thus rate of reaction increases. ( This is opposite for some reactions).

The rate of reaction is approximately doubled when we increases temperature by 10^o C .
