An Excel Program to Study First-Order Kinetics
Hi-Res PDFAbstract
Software to analyze and to simulate first-order kinetics data (ExpoDecay) has been developed using Microsoft Excel 97 with Visual Basic for Applications. Data can be analyzed by least-squares with and without weighting. The results can be assessed by Student's t-test and ANOVA tables. Half-life and a 95% confidence interval for an observed value at time t are given also. For simulation, noise can be added by the constant-variance model and by the constant coefficient of variation model.

R. David Pace and Yagya RegmiJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (9), 1344Two essential concepts for students to grasp in the undergraduate organic chemistry sequence are substitution chemistry and elimination chemistry (SN1/SN2 and E1/E2). However, students are often confounded by the seemingly endless series of structure–...

Leonel R. Vera , Pedro A. Ortega and Miguel GuzmánJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (1), 159Instructors or students can generate simulated kinetic data using parameters they specify, or using parameters randomized by Kinetica. The data set that is generated may then be exported for use in exercises, homework, and exams, or may be analyzed ...
