Sapling Week 9/10 Number 3

[Phoebe Joseph]

Could someone please explain to me how the overall rate of the reaction relates to k in this question?

[Phoebe Joseph]

And could someone give me a clear explanation of how the overall reaction rate relates to the reaction rate of the products?

[Can Yilgor 2D]

The instantaneous rate of change of [A] at a particular moment is the slope of the tangent line at that point. The slope is the rise divided by the run. To find the slope of the orange tangent line, identify two sets of coordinates on that line. One point through which it is known that the orange line crosses is t=40 s and [A]=0.35 M. Another reference point that is relatively easy to read is t=0 and [A]≈0.48 M.

Hope this helps

[Phoebe Joseph]

Yes, this helped a lot. What is the correlation between instantaneous rate of change and k? Thank you

[Rajshree 1F]

the instantaneous rate is the slope of the line tangent to the point you are focusing on. therefore u do y2-y1/x2-x1 of the orange line to get the slope of that line which is the instantaneous rate at t = 40 seconds for the blue line
