An interacti\e program has bren wltren to inwrpret dntn f*>rn second-order kinetics system. It was designed for and has been used extensively in a physical chemistry laboratory course.The reaction may be run with the reactants present in either stoichiometric or nonstoichiometrie amounts. If kinetic data is available a t three or more temperatures selected activation parameters may be obtained. The program may be used for the comoutation of the activation oarameters alone. Available outout includes the rate constant a t each temverature alone with the frequency factor and the experimental activation energy if sufficient data is provided. Also output are the form of the second-order equation used, the slope and intercept of the LLS fit of the seeond-order equation and tables of data suitabls for nmstrurtmg second-order plotsat each temperature.
