Question 2

Which is the correct formula for the rate of reaction?

The right answer is the one marked above.

amount of reactant used up ÷ time taken. Dividing the amount of product formed by the time taken gives the same rate.

Time taken ÷ amount of reactant used up is upside down — it gives the minutes taken per gram. The two choices that multiply do not give a meaningful quantity at all.
