Most of the references listed refer to a specific chemical kinetics
experiment in which the corresponding method analysis was used to
obtain the rate data.

DETERMINING REACTION RATE DATA

The principal techniques used to determine reaction rate functions
from the experimental data are differential and integral methods.

Differential Method

This method is based on differentiating the concentration versus
time data in order to obtain the actual rate of reaction to be tested.
All the terms in the equation including the derivative (dC /dt) are
i
determined, and the goodness of fit are tested with the experimental
