- Boltzmann factor
- =e^-activation energy/kT
- processes happen quickly when this factor is between 15 and 30
- the values of activation energy and kT is fixed, so the only thing that can change this factor is temperature
- When the activation energy is equal to kT, the factor is 0.37 (e^-1)
- rate of reaction is proportional to Boltzmann factor
