Simple plot data
« on: August 24, 2010, 04:54:49 PM »
Hi guys.. I just got my chemistry class, I'm a 10th grader.. and mostly I've never been passionate about data's and tables and such.. so I got this homework

Time heated      temperature(c)
(seconds)         Water    /    Ethyl Alcohol
0                     19.0           19.0
30                   19.0            19.2
60                   19.2            19.5
90                   19.5             20.0
120                  20.5            21.5
150                  21.5            22.5

so im asked to plot that.. into little dots.. but idk how..

can anyone explain?

You'll need the X axis and Y axis.

i know.. and i know that i put it in dots.. now, there is two things (water and ethyl alcohol).. how to plot them both in the same graph?

How about using different colors for each?

i guess thats what i did.. only problem i didn't wanted to do that was bcus the numbers between water and alcohol were almost equal so..

Or you could just draw another graph.

Do like Opti told you, put both on one plot in different colors. Make the plot with temperature scale from - say - 18 to 24, so that the most important difference between both substances will be well visible.
