The temperature coefficient of a reaction is 2. If the temperature is raised by 30 degrees Celsius, the rate of reaction becomes about:

Answer: 8 times.

  • A 4 times
  • B 8 times
  • C 6 times
  • D 16 times

Correct answer: B. 8 times

Explanation: The rate rises by the temperature coefficient for each 10 degree rise, so for 30 degrees the factor is 2<sup>3</sup> = 8 times.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
