Don't Be Tricked by Your Integrated Rate Plot: Reaction Order Ambiguity
Hi-Res PDFAbstract
Integrated rate equations (for constant reaction volume) may be given in terms of relative reactant concentration, C (= concentration/initial concentration) and relative time, T (= time/half-life); in these forms, the equations are independent of rate constants and initial concentrations.

Reaction Order Ambiguity in Integrated Rate Plots
Joe LeeJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (1), 141Reaction Order Ambiguity in Integrated Rate Plots
Joe LeeJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (1), 141Integrated rate plots are frequently used in reaction kinetics to determine orders of reactions. It is often emphasised, when using this methodology in practice, that it is necessary to monitor the reaction to a substantial fraction of completion for ...
A Simple Rate Law Experiment Using a Custom-Built Isothermal Heat Conduction Calorimeter
Lars Wadsö , Xi LiJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (1), 112A Simple Rate Law Experiment Using a Custom-Built Isothermal Heat Conduction Calorimeter
Lars Wadsö , Xi LiJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (1), 112Most processes (whether physical, chemical, or biological) produce or consume heat: measuring thermal power (the heat production rate) is therefore a typical method of studying processes. Here we describe the design of a simple isothermal heat conduction ...

Joel TellinghuisenJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (11), 1709First-Order or Second-Order Kinetics? A Monte Carlo Answer
Joel TellinghuisenJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (11), 1709In chemical kinetics, data for the concentration [A] as a function of time can be analyzed by least-squares fitting to the appropriate expression for the integrated rate law. The problem of discriminating between first and second order in such analyses is ...
