EFFECT OF INCREASE OF TEMPERATURE ON REACTION RATE

It has been found that generally an increase of temperature increases the rate of reaction. As a rule, an increase of temperature by 10°C doubles the reaction rate. Thus the ratio of rate constants of a reaction at two different temperatures differing by 10 degree is known as Temperature Coefficient.
