Making a graph of CuSO4 concentration vs volume of solution

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a graph of CuSO4 concentration versus the volume of solution A for a lab assignment. The user is unsure about how to begin the graph and seeks clarification on which values to plot on the x-axis and y-axis. It is confirmed that the concentration values should be plotted on the y-axis and the corresponding volume of solution A on the x-axis. The data points are noted to be close to forming a straight line, aligning with the expected outcome. The user expresses gratitude for the clarification, indicating that their initial concerns have been addressed.

Homework Statement


Hi, I don't even know where to begin with this type of graph. It does say that the graph should be a straight line. This is for one of my questions for my lab that I am completing.

This is the link of mytable with info http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/Hbjoi_Hggo/image.jpg1_zpsalfphs4o.jpg.

The specific question it asks is " Plot a graph of the CuSO4 concentration(at each dilution) vs. Volume of Solution A dispensed"

I don't understand what difficulty you are having. Can you be more specific?

For each data point ("beaker"), you have the concentration, which is in the last column, which will be the y values, and the corresponding volume of solution A, which will be on the x axis. The values you got are indeed close to a straight line.

Thank you. Sorry if I was being a little vague but you answered exactly what I kept worrying about. What I shouldve said in my original post was 1) if my work is correct and 2) what to put on the x-axis and y axis

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...
