This table provides an easy method to estimate the time it will take
to run a reaction at a different temperature than reported. Based on the
Arrhenius equation,
it uses the course rule of thumb that a ten degree increase in reaction
temperature doubles the reaction speed. For example, if your reaction
took 4 hours at 140°C,
it will take approximately 2 hours
at 150°C (see white numbers in
the table below).
Change in field colour represents change in unit (hour/minutes/seconds).
For example, if your reaction took 6
hours at 100°C,
it will take approximately 5
minutes at 160°C
(see red numbers in the table below).
