Homework Statement



At 25 C a catalyzed solution of formic acid produces 44.6 ml of carbon monoxide gas in 30s.

a) Calculate the rate of reaction with respect to CO(g) production.

Homework Equations



Rate = dC / dT

The Attempt at a Solution



dC should be expressed in mol/L but I do not know how to find this with the given 44.6 mL

Any hints as to what I should be looking for>

Ideal gas equation? You won't be able to give the rate in terms of dC/dT, rather in terms of dn/dt, this is a valid way of describing the kinetics.
