I posted a question like this but my numbers were actually wrong. These are the correct ones.

5.94e-3 / 1.11e-3 = 5.33e-2/2.66e-2

5.35 = 2.00^m

I guess this is not correct because I do not know a whole number that will give you 5.35.

Nor do I.

That works out to be 2^2.4 = 5.35

It says to round the calculated p,q or z values to the nearest integer so that would be 5. Do you think that my numbers for M or rate are just incorrect?

Im pretty sure the concentrations that I obtained for the 5 flasks used are correct im just not sure I calculated the rate for each correctly.

I was suppose to use the number of moles of I2 produced/L*min. For my I2 I got 6.66e-3 which was half of the S2O3^2- value which was 3.33e-3.

For the rate of each flask I used 6.663-3 / the time of reaction that we collected in minutes so for the first one I did 6.66e-3/1.12min and got 5.94e-3. Did I do this correctly?

To solve the first equation, we need to divide the two numbers given. Let's use the scientific notation to perform the calculation:

(5.94e-3) / (1.11e-3)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, we divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents. Therefore:

(5.94 / 1.11) * (10^(-3 - (-3)))

Simplifying:

5.35 * 10^0

This can be written as:

5.35

So, the result of 5.94e-3 / 1.11e-3 is 5.35.

Moving on to the second equation:

5.35 = 2.00^m

To find the value of 'm', we need to isolate it by taking the logarithm of both sides of the equation. In this case, we'll use the logarithm with base 2 since we have 2.00 raised to 'm':

log2(5.35) = log2(2.00^m)

Using the property of logarithms, we can bring down the exponent:

m * log2(2.00) = log2(5.35)

The logarithm of the base raised to itself is equal to 1, so log2(2.00) can be simplified to 1:

m * 1 = log2(5.35)

Therefore, the equation becomes:

m = log2(5.35)

It seems that there is no whole number value for 'm' that would satisfy the equation 5.35 = 2.00^m. You may need to use a calculator or a computer program to find an approximate solution.
