So we got a higher \(R^2\) on the second order model. The reaction rate can be considered second order. What is the reaction rate constant, \(k_A\) for this system?

Source code: R

R code for the example covered in class:

t <- c(0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250)    # [minutes]
# or you can write t <- seq(0, 250, 50)

CA <- c(154, 114, 87, 76, 70, 58)  # [mol/m^3]

# Plot the data first. See the expected trend. It it decreasing nonlinearly, so it is either first or second order (but not zeroth order)
plot(t, CA)
grid()

# Assume it is a first order, rA = -k CA
# So plot log(CA0/CA) against t
plot(t, log(CA[1]/CA))
grid()

# Does not quite look like a straight line, but let us fit a least-squares model anyway

mod.first <- lm( log(CA[1] / CA) ~ t + 0)  # force intercept to be zero
summary(mod.first)

So we got a higher \(R^2\) on the second order model. The reaction rate can be considered second order. What is the reaction rate constant, \(k_A\) for this system?

Source code: Using MATLAB or Octave

t = [0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250];    % [minutes]
CA = [154, 114, 87, 76, 70, 58];    % [mol/m^3]

% Plot the data first. See the expected trend. It it decreasing nonlinearly, so 
% it is either first or second order (but not zeroth order)
figure
plot(t, CA, 'o')
grid on

% Some template code for the linear regression
x = t;
y = log(CA(1)./CA);
n = numel(y);

% Assume it is a first order, rA = -k CA; so plot log(CA0/CA) against t
figure
plot(x, y, 'o')
grid on

% Does not quite look like a straighTSt line, but let us fit a least-squares model anyway
% Fit the model y = b x + 0 (i.e. force the intercept to zero) 
X = [x(:)]; 
y = y(:);              % make sure it is a column vector       
b = inv(X'*X)*X'*y;    % recall this from the 3E4 course 
%b = regress(y, X);     % only if you have the Statistics Toolbox in MATLAB
 
% Plot the data along with the fitted line:
figure
plot(x, y, 'o')
hold('on')
grid('on')
plot(x, X*b, 'r')
xlabel('x values')
ylabel('y values')
legend({'Original data', 'Fitted line'}, 'Location', 'Best')
 
% Additional calculations
predicted = X*b;
resids = y - predicted;            % resids = e = y - Xb
RSS = resids' * resids;            % residual sum of squares
TSS = sum((y - mean(y)).^2);       % total sum of squares
R2_first_order = 1 - RSS/TSS


% Now try a second order model: -rA = k CA^2; so plot 1/CA against t
figure
plot(t, 1./CA, 'o')
grid('on')

% Definitely more linear. Let us fit the least squares model,
% 1/CA = 1/CA0 + kt, or y = b0 + b1 x, where y = 1/CA and x = t, and there is an intercept
% Some template code for the linear regression
x = t;
y = 1./CA;
n = numel(y);
X = [ones(n,1) x(:)]; 
y = y(:);              % make sure it is a column vector       
b = inv(X'*X)*X'*y;    % recall this from the 3E4 course 
% b = regress(y, X);     % only if you have the Statistics Toolbox in MATLAB

% Plot the data along with the fitted line:
figure
plot(x, y, 'o')
hold('on')
grid('on')
plot(x, X*b, 'r')
xlabel('x values')
ylabel('y values')
legend({'Original data', 'Fitted line'}, 'Location', 'Best')
 
% Additional calculations
predicted = X*b;
resids = y - predicted;            % resids = e = y - Xb
RSS = resids' * resids;            % residual sum of squares
TSS = sum((y - mean(y)).^2);       % total sum of squares
R2_second_order = 1 - RSS/TSS
