Having trouble plotting this set of data - .

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on plotting data from an experiment that tested sow bug preferences for dry versus moist environments. The experimental group showed a clear preference for the humid environment, while the control group displayed a 50/50 split between two identical dry environments. The user is seeking advice on how to effectively label the X axis for their data visualization. Suggestions include using "Chamber" to denote the two environments, "Treatment" to differentiate between light and dark, or "Group" to separate control from experimental data. The goal is to create a clear and informative plot that accurately represents the findings.

So: we did an experiment to see if sow bugs liked a dry or a moist environment.

We put them in a choice chamber and let them choose between a dry environment and a humid environment. We also did a separate control where we gave them the choice between two identical dry environments.

My data shows, in the experimental group all chose the humid and in the control, there was a 50/50 split.

I need to plot both experimental and control data. However, I'm having trouble with what goes on my X axis, I know Y is "# of bugs in chamber" but, the X is confusing me. I currently have it as Chamber (1 and 2) since we labeled which chamber they went into but, I think it should be treatment (light and dark) but then the bars are going to clumped on the light with only one on the dark. I'm also thinking "Group - (Control and Experimental) would work; then I can simply legend it to distinguish between light and dark? Ideas?

It seems that the X axis would have labels for the Control and for the the Experimental Group.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
