The rate constant for a particular reaction at 25 °C is k25. Empirical observations show that its rate approximately doubles for every 10 °C rise in temperature. Based on this rule of thumb, what is the best estimate of the rate constant at 45 °C?
(a) About 3k25
(b) About 4k25
(c) About 8k25
(d) About 2k25
