I'm doing a lab on how temperature effects the rate of a chemical reaction. I have a table of several temperature: time values. One of the questions asks the following:
"Use your results [the table] to calculate by what factor the time for the reactions changes for each 10°C increase in the temperature. (calculate 1/time for each temperature, and then divide the 1/time value at the lower temperature into the 1/time value at the higher temperature)"
I would think I am simply supposed to divide the time for the a temperature by the time for a temperature 10°C higher.. and i should get the same value for each one, but these 1/times confuse me. Do they want me to get the inverse of the answer would normally get or.. help?
