Occasionally, head lice or body lice may be acquired from contact with clothing (such as hats, scarves, coats, etc.) or other personal items (such as bedding or towels) that belong to an infested person. This is the more common mode of transmission for body lice.he three kinds of lice that affect humans include: 1  Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice). 2  Pediculus humanus corporis (body lice). 3  Phthirus pubis (pubic lice or crab lice; also called crabs).
The Arrhenius equation provides a relationship between the rate constant #k# and temperature #T#. The Arrhenius equation is: #k=zpe^(-(Ea)/(RT))# where, #k# is the rate constant, #z# is the collision factor, #p# is the steric factor, #Ea# is the activation energy, #R=8.3245J/(mol.K)# is the ideal gas constant and #T# is the temperature.
The Arrhenius Equation Background reading: Common sense and chemical intuition suggest that the higher the temperature, the faster a given chemical reaction will proceed. Quantitatively this relationship between the rate a reaction proceeds and its temperature is determined by the Arrhenius Equation.
