Rate Question Confusion


Hey everyone I am a little confused with something: would 22 seconds be 0.22 or just 22 when used in calculations? For example, if i have to find the rate (molarity/sec). Lets say 0.0005 M (molarity) / 22 = 0.00002272727
OR
0.0005 M / 0.22 = 0.00227272727
Which would be correct?

22 seconds is not 0.22 anything.



Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

If you want your rate to be in molarity per second, then you have to leave the 22 seconds as 22 seconds.
