A student plots a graph of the volume of gas made against time. The curve passes through 46 cm346\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}46cm3 at 30 s.
To find the rate of reaction at 30 s, the student draws a tangent to the curve at 30 s. The tangent passes through the points (10 s, 26 cm326\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}26cm3) and (50 s, 66 cm366\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}66cm3).
What is the rate of reaction at 30 s?
1.00 cm3/s1.00\,\mathrm{cm^{3}/s}1.00cm3/s
1.32 cm3/s1.32\,\mathrm{cm^{3}/s}1.32cm3/s
1.53 cm3/s1.53\,\mathrm{cm^{3}/s}1.53cm3/s
