and does not change with reaction extent.

specific order - may not be the stoichiometric parameters,
rather it is the curve fitting parameters
GEORGE BOX :
ALL MODELS ARE WRONG BUT SOME ARE USEFUL
for A order = a
for B order b
for A -> C overall order = 1
for A + A -> A + C order = 2
order can be fractional - complex reaction
order can be zero -
- change in A negligible over time eg drug in
suspension
- not true stoichiometry
pseudo order - mechanism unknown - curve fitting

Stepwise solution for magnitudes of rate constants
Plot A vs time ---> k
A
from slope
for B and C
need to solve for constants by curve fitting techniques
no simple plots - use non-linear regression techniques
eg Excell Solver Function
JMP
Sigma Plot Curve Fitting Function
solve for k
B
first as know k
A
from ln A vs time plot
use Levenburg- Marquat or Rungga Katta techniques
then do the same for same for C as a function of time

A. Method of differentiation
1. plot concentration vs time. and draw smooth curve (fig 2-1)
2. slope is dA/dt.
determine slope at various points in time by:
a. drawing tangent to curve
b. taking A for each t (need lots of data points)

4. Choice of best order
a. best fit with highest r
2
? of meaning of linear regression
with 6-8 points need r ~ 0.95 (r
2
= 0.9)
change order regresses something different
standard error (SE) also different units
b. # of data points
should have at least 6-8 points spread over 30-50% loss
c. degree of change
For example if:
at t =0 A=100
at t=50 A=50
then
k
z
= (100-50)/50 = 1 unit/day

9. Use of Mac Program -
a. review of steps
(1) enter data for A vs time
(2) choose possible orders
(3) calculate k and 95% CL for given temperature
note for n not = 1 y value is A
(1-n)
*(1/1-n)
(4) predict future values
(5) make plot with 95% CL for order
(6) repeat for each temperature
(7) choose temps and calculate E
A
and Q

(8) make Arrhenius plot
(9) calculate k for any temperature
