I have a question regarding Lab #10. The initial concentrations are asked for, but aren't these values already given in the chart that we used during our experiment ([I]= .2 and [S2O82-]= .1) ? Are there different values which I am supposed to be using...am I going about this the wrong way? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hi,

They want the initial concentrations for each specific reaction: You know this because they give you the molarity and the volume used of each reactant in that chart in the beginning. You multiply molarity (moles/L) x volume (L). Don't forget to convert mL into L!
