ok i need to make a bar graph in microsoft excel, but i cant get the axis correct.

My data has been attached.

I need the Concentration of Sodium Thiosulphate (Mol/dm3) to be on the X axis, and the time to be on the Y axis. But when i do this it keeps switching the axis. In the end the line should be positive and should rise up. Thanks loads.

Time is soposed to be X and the sodium con on the Y, your sodium con is decreasing so your graph line can not go up...
It can go up if you switch the side of the Y axis, here are the two graphs:

I've sent it.
As a general rule time will usually be on the X axis.
Anyhow, my first chart is actually a correct one because it indicates EXACTLY what has happened: As time passed the concentration decreased and it shows it well with a negative incline line.
