Conceptualizing Kinetics with Curve Fitting
Ed Vitz
Kutztown University, Department of Chemistry, Kutztown, PA 19530
Cover
December 1998
Vol. 75 No. 12
p. 1661
Abstract
This paper describes how to use the Excel "Solver" function for the analysis of kinetics data by nonlinear curve-fitting methods, as an alternative to the traditional linearization methods for zero-, first-, and second-order processes.
Supplement
The spreadsheet file, Curvefit.xls, is an Excel template (Excel 5.0c for Windows) and has been compressed as a sit file for Macintosh and a zip file for Windows. The figure can be viewed from a pdf file, accessed using Acrobat Reader.
