    The velocity constant of a reaction at 290 K was found to be \[3.2\times {{10}^{-3}}\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]. When the temperature is raised to 310 K, it will be about:

    A)  \[6.4\times {{10}^{-3}}\]                             

    B)  \[3.2\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    C)  \[9.6\times {{10}^{-3}}\]                             

    D)  \[1.28\times {{10}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Rate constant almost gets doubled by the increase of \[{{10}^{o}}C\] in temperature. Hence, the rate constant at 310 K will be                 \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{(2)}^{2}}\]                          (\[\because \] increase in temperature = 20 K)                 \[=1.28\times {{10}^{-2}}\,{{J}^{-1}}\]
