Zero-order conc-time graph shape

Straight line with negative gradient

First-order conc-time graph shape

Curve sloping down, steep then flattening

Second-order conc-time graph shape

Steeper initially, flattens more than first-order

How to find rate from conc-time graph

Calculate gradient (slope) at that point

How to find initial rate on graph

Tangent to curve at t=0t = 0

How to find instantaneous rate

Draw tangent at point, calculate gradient

Identifying first-order from graph

Constant half-life

Formula for kk in zero-order reactions

k=slopek = -\text{slope} of conc-time graph

Units of kk for zero-order

mol dm3 s1\text{mol dm}^{-3} \text{ s}^{-1}

Units of kk for first-order

s1\text{s}^{-1}
