b) From the graph, determine the average rate of reaction between the times t= 0s and t = 420 s.
c) From the graph, determine the instantaneous rate of decomposition of ethanal when its concentration is 0.200
mol/L at 270 s. Draw the tangent line on the curve
d) From the graph, determine the initial rate of reaction. Draw the tangent line on the curve.
