What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Rate | g/h |
| Mass lost | g |
| Time | h |
Worked example
Find the rate when Mass lost = 1.5 g, Time = 6 h.
Using rate = (mass lost)/time: Rate = 0.25 g/h.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Transpiration rate (mass loss)?
rate = (mass lost)/time.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Rate in g/h, Mass lost in g, Time in h.
How do you calculate rate?
Put the values into rate = (mass lost)/time. For example, with Mass lost = 1.5 g, Time = 6 h, rate = 0.25 g/h.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (rate, mass lost, time) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
