A variable, which is controlled or changed in a scientific experiment to examine the influences on the dependent variable is known as an independent variable. On the other hand, a dependent variable refers to the variable, which is being measured and tested in a scientific experiment.
In the given case, one is observing that how the amount of salt in a mouse food influences the water the mouse drinks. Thus, the amount of salt in the food in the given case is an independent variable, as one can determine the amount of water consumed by the mouse, by manipulating the amount of salt intake given to the mouse.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Answer:
period 3 and group 3
Explanation:
I'm saying group 3 because that is how I learnt it at school, but if you count it then it's in group 13.
In this case a double displacement reaction will take place.
Answer:
c. 2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Cu²⁺ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺
Explanation:
A net ionic equation is a chemical equation that list only the species that are involved in the reaction.
The reaction of ammonia with copper(II) sulfate CuSO₄ in water is:
2NH₃ + 2H₂O + CuSO₄ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺ + SO₄²⁻
In an ionic equation, salts are written as ions, that means CuSO₄ must be written as Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻. That is:
2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Cu²⁺ +<u> SO₄²⁻</u> → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺ + <u>SO₄²⁻</u>
As in a net ionic equation you must list only the species involved in the reaction (The underlined species don't react), the net ionic equation is:
<em>c</em>. <em>2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Cu²⁺ → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₄⁺</em>
<em></em>
I hope it helps!
