second_order_kinetics {Inquilab}R Documentation

Calculate Second Order Kinetics Parameters

Description

This function calculates the rate constant and half-life based on second-order dissipation kinetics of pesticides, and provides a summary of the kinetic model including intercept, R-squared value, and other statistical measures.

Usage

second_order_kinetics(t, c)

Arguments

t

Numeric vector, time points.

c

Numeric vector, concentrations corresponding to each time point.

Details

The function first checks if the concentration values are greater than zero and if the length of the time and concentration vectors are equal. It then transforms the concentration data for second-order kinetics analysis and fits a linear model to the transformed data. From the fitted model, it calculates the rate constant and the half-life of the reaction. Finally, it provides a summary of the kinetic model, including the intercept, R-squared value, and other statistical measures.

Value

A list containing the following components:

rate constant

The calculated rate constant for the first-order kinetics.

half life

The calculated half-life based on the rate constant and initial concentration.

summary

A summary object providing statistical measures of the fitted model, including the intercept, R^2 value, among others.

t <- c(0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
c <- c(100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10)
