Choose the correct expression regarding average rate of reaction (\mathrm{r_{avg}}) and instantaneous rate of reaction (\mathrm{r_{inst}}) :

Option: 1

\mathrm{r_{\text {inst. }}=\lim _{\Delta t \rightarrow 0}\left(r_{\text {avg. }}\right) }


Option: 2

\mathrm{r_{\text {avg. }}=\lim _{\Delta t \rightarrow 0}\left(r_{\text {inst. }}\right)\\ }


Option: 3

\mathrm{r_{\text {avg. }}=\lim _{\Delta C \rightarrow 0}\left(r_{\text {inst. }}\right)}


Option: 4

\mathrm{r_{\text {inst. }}=\lim _{\Delta C \rightarrow 0}\left(r_{\text {avg. }}\right)}

Average rate of reaction:
For a reaction,
\mathrm{A \rightarrow B}
\mathrm{\text { Average rate }=\frac{\text { Total change in concentration }}{\text { Total time taken }}}
Average rate \mathrm{=\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta t}}
Instantaneous rate of a reaction:
Rate of reaction at a particular instant is called Instantaneous rate of a reaction. For a reaction
\mathrm{A \rightarrow B}
\mathrm{r_{\text {inst. }}=\frac{d C}{d t}}
\mathrm{r_{\text {inst. }}=\lim _{\Delta t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\Delta C}{\Delta t}\right)=\frac{d C}{d t}}
So,
\mathrm{r_{\text {inst. }}=\lim _{\Delta t \rightarrow 0}\left(r_{\text {avg. }}\right)}
