This study shows that, in a reacting system containing three compounds, previously identified, only one of them being a reactive, it is possible, through measures of global absorbance or any other additive property, to distinguish between different, very frequent reaction mechanisms, such as irreversible, reversible, consecutive, and simultaneous processes.

Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
