Exclusion of Time as an Independent Variable

The method of exclusion of time as an independent variable (discussed in Sect. 1.3.3) can be applied effectively for several inverse problems. For example, some compound A participates in three parallel steps of a process and each of the steps follows the first reaction order  

Assume the corresponding file contains information about concentrations of all the reaction components at certain moments of time. One is asked to derive the rate constants for each of the three steps given the initial concentrations of the components are (M) Aq = 0.844 Bq = 0.071, Co = Do = 0. 

Considering the initial craicentrations of the compounds B and C, a function B(C) can be derived  

Similarly, (4.10) and (4.11) allow defining the relationship between the concentrations of C and D  

From (4.12)-(4.14) follows that the rate constants can be calculated by linearization of the starting kinetic data. For example, the relationship between In A t) and
