3. Which of the following is the right temperature coefficient (n) expression? 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°
The temperature coefficient of the reaction is used to describe the effect of temperature on the rate of the reaction. The temperature coefficient of the reaction is defined as the ratio of the rate constant at two temperatures differ by 10oC, usually from 25oC to 35oC.
