The shape and slope of the conversion vs. time graph provide valuable information:
1. Initial Rate: The initial slope of the graph indicates the initial rate of the reaction. A steeper slope signifies a faster reaction rate. 2. Plateau Region: As the reaction proceeds, the graph may approach a plateau, indicating that the reaction is reaching completion or equilibrium. 3. Catalyst Activity: If the graph shows a consistent rate of conversion over time, it suggests that the catalyst is stable and active.
