Moore-Russo, Deborah A.; Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Schuman, Michael J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2006
The use of Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) technology, the graphing calculator, and the cooling and heating of water to model the behavior of consecutive first-order reactions is presented, where B is the reactant, I is the intermediate, and P is the product for an in-class demonstration. The activity demonstrates the spontaneous and consecutive…

Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Moore-Russo, Deborah A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2004
A combination of graphical thinking with chemical and physical theories in the classroom is encouraged by using the Calculator-Based Laboratory System (CBL) with a temperature sensor and graphing calculator. The theory of first-order kinetics is logically explained with the aid of the cooling or heating of the metal bead of the CBL's temperature…

Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Moore, Deborah A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1999
Describes the use of Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) technology and a projectable TI-83 graphing calculator to demonstrate the kinetic behavior of a complex reaction. Explains how the CBL is used to review first-order reactions and the graphing calculator is used to determine the rate constants for a series of consecutive first-order reactions.…
