Question

The rate of a chemical reaction is too slow to measure at room temperature. We could either raise the temperature or add a catalyst. Which would be a better solution for making an accurate determination of the rate constant? Adding a catalyst is better because it has a larger effect on the rate and makes the reaction must quicker. o Adding a catalyst is better because the temperature effect is not linear. Raising the temperature would be better because it does not change the mechanism for the reaction. Raising the temperature would be better because it is possible to get multiple temperatures and. therefore, multiple data points.

Explanation / Answer

When temperature increses rate constane increases. Each 10C temperature double the rate constant.

D. raising the temperature would be better because it is possible to get multiple temperature and therefore multiple data points
