Rates of physical and chemical processes are influenced by temperature among other factors. A general rule of thumb is that rate:
1. doubles by half for every 10°C change in either direction
2. decreases by half for every 10°C change in either direction
3. doubles or decreases by half for every 10°C change in either direction
4. doubles or decreases by half for every 5°C change in either direction
