The rate of reactuon is nearly double on increasing the temp by

Generally speaking, this can be shown to be a consequence of the , which attempts to make predictions about the change observed in rate constants based upon observed changes in temperature. It’s a nice for many different types of reactions, but it isn’t true for every reaction and it isn’t true for every temperature, it’s just a nice approximation sometimes near room temperature and can be a nice way to do a gut-check when measuring rates of reaction experimentally, or as a initial guess when attempting to speed up a process. For example, you might attempt to halve the time involved in baking a cookie by raising the temperature ten degrees C (or 18 degrees F), knowing that doubling the temperature of the oven isn’t the right way to double the rate of a reaction.
