A graph of volume of hydrogen released vs time for the reaction between zinc and dil. HCl is given in the figure. On the basis of this mark the correct option.
(a) Average rate upto 40 s is V3−V240
(b) Average rate upto 40 s isV3−V240−30
(c) Average rate upto 40 s isV340
(d) Average rate upto 40 s isV3−V140−20
Answer: (c) Average rate upto 40 s isV340
Zn+Dil.HCl→ZnCl2+H2↑
Average rate of reaction =Change in concentration of H2Change in time=V3−040−0=V340
