A student investigated the rate of the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using different physical forms of a manganese(IV) oxide catalyst.
The table below shows the results of their experiment:
| Physical form of MnO2\text{MnO}_2MnO2 catalyst | Volume of oxygen gas collected in 6 minutes in cm3\text{cm}^3cm3 |
|---|---|
| Coarse granules | 27 |
| Fine granules | 63 |
| Ultrafine powder | 108 |
Calculate the average rate of reaction for the ultrafine powder of manganese(IV) oxide in cm3 s−1\text{cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1}cm3 s−1.
