(fig 7-1) Graph, Amount of Gas Produced (ml)

Note the two trials that were conducted for the experiment were different amounts- 710ml bottle and 1.5 L bottle. For this reason showing them in comparison by precentage it can be seen that they are very close - this shows the reproducibility of the experiment.
