:applause: Well done!

We learned about his law two years ago in chemistry (of course...), but all I can remember about it is that we used a natural logarithm in it, somewhere...

[checks wikipedia] Ooh, now I remember! Hmm... It seemed much less complicated when our teacher presented it...

Edit:Oops. Damn edit button next to quote. Sorry. GC
Never mind, it's only the campfire...

Was roughly...
KF - how to avoid vowels, other than by picking a small welsh village?
GC - by picking a "football" player? Now guess some letters!

Okay, I'll have Q, U, X and K. :-p
Just kidding, I'll post a proper guess on a proper post in a moment...

Picking a small welsh village is easy too: then almost any letter you say, it's bound to be in the word!

Just FYI - it is pretty simple: basically the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the function of exp(Ea/T), where T is the temperature and Ea is a value that depends on the nature of the reaction. Of course, not all reactions obey the law, so one wonders if you can really call it a law in the first place. :)

Thanks for the explanation. It's much clearer now. :)
