Slope of the curve can be determined by?
Correct answer: C. Drawing a tangent to the curve
- A. Area under the curve
- B. Calculating the length of the curve
- C. Drawing a tangent to the curve
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
The area under the graph does not give the slope. Calculating the length of the curve does not give the slope. The only way to find the slope of a curve is by drawing a tangent from that curve and finding the gradient. Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
