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.
What weâre really looking at here is whatâs known as the Arrhenius equation. Svante August Arrhenius was a Nobel Prize winning Swedish chemist around the turn of the century. He observed that an increase of 18Â° F will about double the rate of the average chemical reaction. And the same holds true in reverse: the colder the temperature, the less the rate of reaction.
