Let's calculate the average rate of reaction, Yano.

Determine the total volume of carbon dioxide produced.
From the table, the maximum volume of CO₂ gas produced is 40 mL. This volume is reached at 7 minutes and does not increase further.
Determine the total time taken for the reaction to complete.
The reaction stops producing CO₂ gas after 7 minutes, as the volume remains constant from this point onwards.
Calculate the average rate of reaction.
The average rate of reaction is the total change in volume of CO₂ divided by the total time taken.
$\text{Average rate} = \frac{\text{Total volume of CO₂ produced}}{\text{Total time taken}}$ $\text{Average rate} = \frac{40 \text{ mL}}{7 \text{ min}}$ $\text{Average rate} \approx 5.714 \text{ mL/min}$
The average rate of reaction is approximately $\text{5.71 mL/min}$ .
