Abstract
AbstractDuring the past few years there has been a resurgence of interest in kinetic aspects of analytical chemistry and in kinetic methods of analysis. The increased activity is a result of advances that have been made in instrumentation and in data processing techniques. Still, the kinetic approach is not widely applied by practicing analytical chemists. Why is this true? Why are kinetic methods not among the most common methods in use by analytical chemistry? This paper discusses the advantages and limitations of kinetic methods and addresses the probable reasons that they are not widely used. Several new principles have cmerged that are guiding the development of new kinetic‐based determinations. These developments have made it possible to compensate for errors that result from changes in reaction conditions and to determine accurately multiple components in mixtures. With these advances kinetic methods are approaching the reliability of traditional equilibrium‐based determinations and should be re‐evaluated by analytical chemists.
