Q10 Calculator Calculate the Q10 temperature coefficient — the factor by which a reaction rate changes with a 10°C temperature increase. — free online calculator.
Formula
- Q10 Calculator calculates its result from Rate at Temperature 1 (R₁), Temperature 1 (T₁), Rate at Temperature 2 (R₂), Temperature 2 (T₂). It uses the formula Q10 = (R₂/R₁)^[10/(T₂−T₁)]. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Rate at Temperature 1, Temperature 1, Rate at Temperature 2, Temperature 2. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Q10
- Rate at Temperature 1: 10 R₁
- Temperature 1: 10 T₁
- Rate at Temperature 2: 20 R₂
- Temperature 2: 20 T₂
Using Rate at Temperature 1 (R₁) = 10, Temperature 1 (T₁) = 10, Rate at Temperature 2 (R₂) = 20, Temperature 2 (T₂) = 20, the calculated result is 0.5.
