The Kinetic Analysis of Experimental Data

This chapter contains sections titled: The Experimental Data Dependence of Rate on Concentration Meaning of the Rate Expression Units of the Rate Constant, k The Significance of the Rate Constant as Opposed to the Rate Determining the Order and Rate Constant from Experimental Data Systematic Ways of Finding the Order and Rate Constant from Rate/Concentration Data Drawbacks of the Rate/Concentration Methods of Analysis Integrated Rate Expressions First Order Reactions Second Order Reactions Zero Order Reaction Integrated Rate Expressions for Other Orders Main Features of Integrated Rate Equations Pseudo-order Reactions Determination of the Product Concentration at Various Times Expressing the Rate in Terms of Reactants or Products for Non-simple Stoichiometry The Kinetic Analysis for Complex Reactions The Steady State Assumption General Treatment for Solving Steady States Reversible Reactions Pre-equilibria Dependence of Rate on Temperature Further Reading Further Problems
