Abstract

 Adapted from 1-11-Kinetics, SIMIODE modeling scenario.  We help students see the connection between college level chemistry course work and their differential equations coursework.  We do this through modeling kinetics, or rates of chemical reaction. We study zeroth, first, and second order reactions and offer many opportunities to model these chemical reactions with data, some of which comes from traditional introductory chemistry textbooks.  We ask students to verify their model through parameter estimation.
