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.
Determining the activation energy. The Arrhenius equation. can be written in a non-exponential form which is often more convenient to use and to interpret graphically. Taking the logarithms of both sides and separating the exponential and pre-exponential terms yields. which is the equation of a straight line whose slope is âE a /R.
