Computer Calculation of First-Order Rate Constants
Williams, Robert C.; Taylor, James W.
J Chem Educ, 47, 2, 129-133, 70 Feb
Discusses the computer program used to calculate first-order rate constants. Discussion includes data preparation, weighting options, comparison techniques, infinity point adjustment, least-square fit, Guggenheim calculation, and printed outputs. Exemplifies the utility of the computer program by two experiments: (1) the thermal decomposition of benzoyl peroxide in cyclohexane and (2) the solvolysis of benzhydryl chlorides in acetone-water solution.
