van 't Hoff's rule

Van 't Hoff's rule states that for many chemical reactions, the rate roughly doubles with each 10°C increase in temperature. This means that if a reaction takes a certain amount of time at a specific temperature, raising the temperature by 10°C can make it happen about twice as fast. The rule is an approximation based on how temperature affects molecules’ energy levels and collision rates, influencing reaction speed. While not exact for all reactions, it provides a useful general guideline for understanding and predicting how temperature changes impact reaction rates.
