Judgment kinetic equations

Thus, due to the shortcomings of currently available statistical procedures and the restricted data included in many reports of kinetic studies, it is at present impracticable to calculate a parameter that provides a realistic measure of the accuracy of obedience of (log A, E) values to the compensation equation. While this objective may become realizable in the future, we are at present restricted to the use of the linear regression formula as a semiquanti-tative approximation. Results obtained using this approach, in a comparative analysis of the kinetic data available in the literature for a wide variety of surface reactions, are tabulated in Section III and some judgments concerning the relative accuracy of fit of data for different systems to Eq. (2) can be made. Interpretation of the significance of the observed trends must include consideration of the possibilities that the observed relationships...
