- can find out the rate of a chemical reaction by monitoring the amount of reactants used up over time
- alternatively, can find out the rate of reaction by measuring the amount of products made over time
- the gradient of the line at any given time on the graph drawn from such an experiment, tells you the rate of reaction, at that time
the steeper the gradient, the faster the reaction
- to calculate the rate of reaction at a specific time, draw the tangent to the curve, then calculate its gradient
