This document discusses methods for determining the kinetics of chemical reactions, including: 1) Plotting concentration versus time data and determining reaction orders by examining how initial rates change with varying concentrations of reactants. 2) Using integrated rate laws - first-order reactions follow ln[A] vs. t, second-order 1/[A] vs. t, and zero-order [A] vs. t - to determine the rate constant k from the slopes of such plots. 3) An example problem demonstrates using the first-order integrated rate law to find product concentration after a time for a reaction.
