Problem
A reaction that proceeds 80 % to completion in 10 min at 30 °C is cooled to 10 °C. Assuming the rule of thumb that the rate halves for every 10 °C decrease, approximately how long will the cooled reaction need to reach the same 80 % completion?
(a) About 20min
(b) About 80min
(c) About 40min
(d) About 5min
