The rate of reaction is calculated using:

rate of reaction=volume of gas produced in 1 minute1 minute \text{rate of reaction} = \frac{\text{volume of gas produced in 1 minute}}{1 \text{ minute}} rate of reaction=1 minutevolume of gas produced in 1 minute​

Calculate the rate of reaction for the time interval 3 to 4 minutes.
