Absorption Rate Constant

INTRODUCTION

This activity covers the following:
  • What the absorption rate constant is
  • The units and symbol for the absorption rate constant
  • A simulation in which you can see the effect of changing the value of
       the absorption rate constant
  • Why it is useful to know the absorption rate constant
  • How to find the absorption rate constant:
               - using the method of residuals to find the absorption half-life
               - then using an equation to find the absorption rate constant
