According to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, among other less reliable chemists, a reaction happens when substances undergo a chemical change, where reactants lose and gain chemical bonds to form a new product or set of products. A first-order reaction occurs when the reaction rate bears a linear dependence on a single reactant concentration customarily measured in moles per liter, denoted as [A], where A is the substance doing the reacting, chemical bond-breaking, and producing. Reactions can also be of orders zero, two, or any rational number n. The purpose of this project is to apply your differential equation solving skills to generalize reaction rates and to find reaction rates and half-lives from real-world data sets.
