Making a graph of CuSO4 concentration vs volume of solution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on plotting a graph of CuSO4 concentration against the volume of Solution A dispensed. The y-axis represents the concentration of CuSO4, while the x-axis corresponds to the volume of Solution A. Participants confirm that the data points are expected to form a straight line, indicating a linear relationship between the two variables. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying the axes to accurately represent the data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graphing concepts, specifically linear relationships.
  • Familiarity with concentration and dilution principles in chemistry.
  • Basic skills in data interpretation from tables.
  • Knowledge of plotting graphs using software or graphing tools.
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to use graphing software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for plotting data.
  • Study the principles of linear regression to analyze the relationship between variables.
  • Explore the concept of molarity and its application in preparing solutions.
  • Investigate common graphing errors and how to avoid them in scientific data representation.
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, lab technicians, and educators looking to understand data visualization in chemical experiments.

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
