Hi everyone,

 

In relation to another post about reaction rates, please could someone answer if it is conventional in chemistry to use significance tests like chi-squared?

 

For example, would it be used in something like a rates of reaction test? If reaction rate is supposed to double as you increase temp by 10°C but you find the increase is 1.8 rather than 2 - could you use chi-squared to see if this is a significant relationship.

 

What would the scientific community think of using suck techniques to test significance?

 

thanks as always
