Which of the following is the correct expression for the temperature coefficient (n)?(a) n = Rate constant at T + 10°/Rate constant at T°(b) n = Rate constant at T + 20°/Rate constant at T°(c) n = Rate constant at T + 30°/Rate constant at T°(d) n = Rate constant at T + 40°/Rate constant at T°This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.My query is from Chemical Kinetics topic in section Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (a) n = Rate CONSTANT at T + 10°/Rate constant at T°

Easiest explanation: The effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction is usually EXPRESSED in terms of the temperature coefficient which is defined by the EQUATION:

Temperature coefficient (n) = Rate constant at T + 10° (308 K)/Rate constant at T° (298 K).
