Question

What is the average rate of change of the amount of the element over the 10-minute experiment? *

Answer 1

Answer:

$-2.7 g/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a graph

To find: the average rate of change of the amount of the element over the 10-minute experiment

Solution:

A rate of change of one quantity with respect to another quantity is known as rate of change. If y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable then average rate of change = change in y /change in x.

From the graph,

change in x (time) = $10-0=10$ minutes

change in y ( amount of the element) = $3.22-30=-26.78$ g

So, average rate of change = $\frac{-26.78}{10} =-2.7 g/min$
