A student uses protease to break down protein in a solution. The student measures the concentration of protein remaining at two times.
| Time (s) | Concentration of protein remaining (g dm−3\mathrm{g\,dm^{-3}}gdm−3) |
|---|---|
| 40 | 8.4 |
| 160 | 5.4 |
The protein is broken down at a constant rate from 40 s to 220 s.
Calculate the concentration of protein remaining at 220 s.
