Reaction speed doubles for every 10 degrees F.

That can't possibly be correct, or at least it's only correct over part of the range.

If a pan rusts at a given rate at 70F, it would rust at 2^33 times that at 400F--those numbers just don't work at all.

Also once the pan heats past the boiling point of water, there is a huge decrease in drying time.
