$\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}$ is a first order reaction. The following graph is obtained for this reaction, $(x$-axis $=$ time: $y$-axis $=$ conc, of A). The instantaneous rate of the reaction at point C is
$\frac{1}{m}$
$m$
2.303 m
$\frac{1}{2.303 m}$
Solution
$\mathrm{r}_{\text {inst }}=\frac{-\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{R}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{P}]}{\mathrm{dt}}$
So, the instantaneous rate of reaction at point C is slope i.e. m.
