TESTING THE DATA FOR CONSISTENCY WITH COMPLICATED RATE EXPRESSIONS

Testing the data for consistency with complicated rate expressions 

If the concentration-time data cannot be represented by a rate expression of the ype 

At this stage, it is useful to repeat the examples of complicated rate expressions given earlier in generalised form [eqns. (2), (3) and (4)], 

In principle we can have even more complicated expressions by taking linear 

The exponents a, b, p, q are usually integers or half-integers in the range 0 to 2 though, unlike our simple formulation, negative values are allowed. Many examples of these forms are given in Chapter 1, Vol. 2, but, for our purposes, three examples will suffice
