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)
#Call:
#lm(formula = log(CA[1]/CA) ~ t + 0)

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
