Chemical Weathering Rate and Temperature
The rate of chemical weathering can be described by the Arrhenius equation, . 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
