Yield analysis slope, assumption

The first is to normalize the data, making them suitable for analysis by our most common parametric techniques such as analysis of variance ANOYA. A simple test of whether a selected transformation will yield a distribution of data which satisfies the underlying assumptions for ANOYA is to plot the cumulative distribution of samples on probability paper (that is a commercially available paper which has the probability function scale as one axis). One can then alter the scale of the second axis (that is, the axis other than the one which is on a probability scale) from linear to any other (logarithmic, reciprocal, square root, etc.) and see if a previously curved line indicating a skewed distribution becomes linear to indicate normality. The slope of the transformed line gives us an estimate of the standard deviation. If... 

Accordingly, the Arrhenius equation should yield a straight line of slope —EJR and intercept A if n k is plotted against 1/71 Implicit in this statement is the assumption that E is constant over the temperature range in question. Despite the fact that E generally varies significantly with temperature, the Arrhenius equation has wide applicability in industry. This method of analysis can be used to test the rate law, describe the variation of k with T, and/or evaluate E. The numerical value of E will depend on the choice and units of the reaction velocity constant. 

For a narrow particle size distribution the cumulant analysis is usually satisfactory. The cumulant method is based on the assumption that, for monodisperse suspensions gi(r) is monoexponential. Hence, the log of gi(r) versus t yields a straight line with a slope equal to F,... 

Surface concentrations of complex species and ligands can be determined by means described in Chapter 3 further, the normalized Tafel plots (NTPs) can be obtained. However, initially, we shall make use of isosurface concentration voltammetry presented in Section 5.3.1. Using experimental data obtained at constant surface concentrations, one can estimate the value of without any tentative assumptions as to the mechanism of the charge transfer step, that is, for unknown composition of the EAC. It follows from Eq. (4.3) that for t/r = const, the surface concentrations of the components do not depend on time. Selected in this way, data (Figure 8.7) are satisfactorily approximated by the lines with similar slopes, which yield = 0.37 0.03 (see Eq. (8.17)). This value canbe checked by the analysis of individual transients of the potential, but then the composition of the EAC must be established.
