The times taken for iodine to be liberated in the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid at various temperature are as follows. These results suggest that

a

for a 10o rise in temperature, rate of reaction is double

b

for a 10 o rise in temperature, rate of reaction is halved

c

time taken for iodine to appear does not depend on temperature

d

for a 10 o rise in temperature rate of reaction is tripled

@Aliyu
ur very correct
Pls As the time decreases, rate of reaction increases
Let us not confuse ourselves

my school should please pay attention to the complaints of its users and make corrections as soon as possible

@myschool the answer is A because rate of reaction is inversely proportional with time and since time was given in the table (i.e halved per 10 degree rise ) the rate would be doubled✔️✔️💯💯

At 25°C, time = 72 seconds

At 35°C, time = 36 seconds

At 45°C, time = 18 seconds


From this, we can see that for every 10°C increase in temperature, the time taken is halved. The rate of reaction is inversely proportional to the reaction time, so when time is halved, the reaction rate doubles.

Thus, the correct answer is:
A) For a 10°C rise in temperature, the rate of reaction is double.

Apologies please! Kindly note that the question has been reviewed.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Admin, the answer is A. For a 10 percent increase in temperature, the reaction occurs twice as fast. Therefore, the rate of reaction doubles.

@Aliyu, answer questions according to information given, temperature and time were given not rate of reaction,with the information we should be able to come across the correct answer.

Myschool, so you haven't changed this answer to A? Wow!

The time halves but the rate doubles because rate is inversely proportional to the time.

The answer is A. the reaction rates doubles for each rise of temeperature by 10degree celsius

It should be halved not doubled cuz for an increase in temperature the time was going down not up

Correct answer is halved
