The Search for a Rate Equation

It is a good idea when making runs at different temperatures first to change all p values to C values by using the relationships 

In searching for a rate equation and mechanism to fit a set of experimental data, we would like answers to two questions  

Have we the correct mechanism and corresponding type of rate equation  

Once we have the right form of rate equation, do we have the best values for the rate constants in the equation  

The difficult question to answer is the first of the preceding two questions. Let us see why this is so.
