Gradient of a graph

How steep a line is

Gradient in reactions shows

How quickly reaction is happening at specific time

Why calculate gradient

To find rate of reaction at any particular moment

Tangent definition

Line touching curve at one point, doesn't cross it

First step for gradient

Draw a tangent at point of interest

Y-axis change represents

Change in amount of substance

X-axis change represents

Change in time

Gradient formula

Change in AmountChange in Time\frac{\text{Change in Amount}}{\text{Change in Time}}

Rate: 10 cm³ change in 2s

5 cm3/s5 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s}

Benefit of tangents

Measure rate at specific moment, not average
