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°
Answer: a Explanation: The effect of temperature on a reaction’s pace is commonly stated in terms of the temperature coefficient, which is defined by the equation: Temperature coefficient (n) = T + 10° (308 K) rate constant/T° rate constant (298 K).
