``Kinetics of Single Reactant Reactions,'' by Brindell Horelick and Sinan Koont, UMAP 232. The unit discusses reaction orders of irreversible single reactant reactions. The equation a′(t) = –k(a(t))ⁿ is solved for selected values of n; reaction orders of various reactions are found from experimental data, and the notion of half-life is discussed. Some background knowledge of chemistry is required.
