PURPOSE:
TodeterminetheRateLawandtheActivationEnergyforareactionfromexperimentaldata.
PRINCIPLES:
TheRateLawisamathematicalexpressionthatpredictstherateofareactionfromthe

Thevaluesfortherateconstantandtheconcentrationpowershavetobedetermined

Therateisfirstorderwithrespectto[X]whichmeans:

When[X]isdoubled,therateisdoubled. [2]1 =2
When[X]istripled,therateistripled
[3]1 =3
Therateissecondorderwithrespectto[Y]whichmeans: Rateisproportionalto[Y]2
When[Y]isdoubled,therateisquadrupled.
