Chemical Weathering Rate and Temperature

Mark
< Prev
Next >

The rate of chemical weathering can be described by the Arrhenius equation, R=A e−ERTR=A\,e^{-\frac{E}{R T}}. Given that the ratio of the activation energy to the gas constant (E/R) is 5000 K, by approximately what factor does the weathering rate increase when the temperature rises from 283 K to 293 K?

A

Approximately 1.5 times increase

B

Approximately 1.83 times increase

C

Approximately 2.0 times increase

D

Approximately 2.5 times increase
