Using CBL Technology and a Graphing Calculator To Teach the Kinetics of Consecutive First-Order Reactions.

Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Moore, Deborah A.

Journal of Chemical Education, v76 n5 p635-38 May 1999

Describes the use of Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) technology and a projectable TI-83 graphing calculator to demonstrate the kinetic behavior of a complex reaction. Explains how the CBL is used to review first-order reactions and the graphing calculator is used to determine the rate constants for a series of consecutive first-order reactions. (WRM)
