Calculating Gradients (OCR GCSE Chemistry A, Combined (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

How steep a line is

Shows how quickly the reaction is happening

Determine rate of reaction at a particular moment

Rate of reaction often changes as reaction progresses

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

Difference between two y-axis points

Difference between two x-axis points

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

Rate of reaction at that point

Measure rate at specific moment, not just average

Draw a tangent at the point on the curve
