A student investigated the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide \((\text{H}_2\text{O}_2)\) using the catalysed reaction: \[2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g})\] The student measured the volume of oxygen gas produced at regular time intervals. The results are shown in the table below. Analyse the data to determine the average rate of oxygen production between \(30\) s and \(90\) s, expressed in \(\text{cm}^3\,\text{s}^{-1}\).
