Fogler/PrenHall/CDD.1 S/S
Algebraic Method Draw the best straight line through your data points.
Choose two points on this line, t1 and t2, and the corresponding concentrations
CA1 and CA2 at these times:

CA0 CA0
ln CA2 2 ln CA1 5 2k (t2 2 t1 ) (CDD-4)

Rearranging yields

When t 5 8, CA 5 1.05; when t 5 12, CA 5 0.75. Substituting into Equation
(CDD-5) gives us
