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.

So would just 22 seconds be correct?

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