Using a CBL Unit, a Temperature Sensor, and a Graphing Calculator to Model the Kinetics of Consecutive First-Order Reactions as Safe In-Class Demonstrations
Moore-Russo, Deborah A.; Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Schuman, Michael J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n1 p64-68 Jan 2006
The use of Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) technology, the graphing calculator, and the cooling and heating of water to model the behavior of consecutive first-order reactions is presented, where B is the reactant, I is the intermediate, and P is the product for an in-class demonstration. The activity demonstrates the spontaneous and consecutive heating then cooling of water.
