Figure 16.5
Concentrations of O3 vs time during its reaction with C2H4
Curved line indicates change
in reaction rate with time.
The slope of a tangent at any
point on the curve yields the
instantaneous rate at that point.
reaction rate = (instantaneous)
reaction rate
initial rates: measured to avoid
complications due to back
reactions
