I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who created the population factor e-E/kT?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The speed of a chemical reaction (at given temperature T) is related to the activation energy E, by the Boltzmann's population factor e−E/kT – that is the probability of molecule to have energy greater than or equal to E at the given temperature". Is that enough to answer the question?
