(N/A) The instantaneous rate of reaction $(r_{inst})$ is obtained from a concentration-time graph by following these steps:
$1$. Plot the concentration of the reactant versus time $(t)$.
$2$. Choose a specific point on the curve corresponding to the time at which the instantaneous rate is required.
$3$. Draw a tangent to the curve at that specific point.
$4$. Calculate the slope of this tangent.
$5$. The instantaneous rate $(r_{inst})$ is equal to the negative of the slope of the tangent for reactants,i.e.,$r_{inst} = -\text{slope} = -\frac{d[R]}{dt}$.

$KClO_3 + 6FeSO_4 + 3H_2SO_4 \rightarrow KCl + 3Fe_2(SO_4)_3 + 3H_2O$. The above reaction was studied at $300 \ K$ by monitoring the concentration of $FeSO_4$,where the initial concentration was $10 \ M$ and after half an hour it became $8.8 \ M$. The rate of production of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is $........ \times 10^{-6} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.
