The instantaneous rate of a reaction is the reaction rate at any given point in time.
Rate of reaction is = - 1/r d[R]/dt
An instantaneous rate is defined as the negative slope of the line on this graph. As the period of time used to calculate an average rate of a reaction becomes shorter and shorter, the average rate approaches the instantaneous rate.
