What is a control in a scientific experiment

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
4 0

Hey there!

In a scientific experiment, there are three types of variables: dependent, independent, and control.

Independent variables are the variables that are changed and doesn't depend on another.

Dependent variables are the variables that are depending on the independent variable. When the independent variable changes, it affects the dependent variable.

Control variables are the variables that are kept the same throughout the entire experiment. These don't change at all.

Hope this helps!

How can you increase the amount of work done when you lift a book explain
Gnoma [55]
<h2>Work done = mgh </h2>

Explanation:

  • In this case, while lifting the book we are working against the force of gravity.

Using the Newton's laws, we can find the force F required for lifting the book having mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g) that is ;

  • F = mg

and, the change in the position of the book that is Δx (Height)

→ Δx = Final position - Initial position

which is only the height, then the amount of work done will be calculated by :

W= mgh

  • Where W = Work Done

m = Mass of the Body

g = Acceleration due to Gravity

h = Height of Body being displaced

A student prepares a 1.8 M aqueous solution of 4-chlorobutanoic acid (C2H CICO,H. Calculate the fraction of 4-chlorobutanoic aci
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \to C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)}+ H^+_{(aq)}

The ICE table is then shown as:

                               C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)}  \ \ \ \ \to  \ \ \ \ C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)} \ \ +  \ \ \ \ H^+_{(aq)}

Initial   (M)                     1.8                                       0                               0

Change  (M)                   - x                                     + x                           + x

Equilibrium   (M)            (1.8 -x)                                  x                              x

K_a  = \frac{[C_3H_6ClCO^-_2][H^+]}{[C_3H_6ClCO_2H]}

where ;

K_a = 3.02*10^{-5}

3.02*10^{-5} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(1.8-x)}

Since the value for K_a is infinitesimally small; then 1.8 - x ≅ 1.8

Then;

3.02*10^{-5} *(1.8) = {(x)(x)}

5.436*10^{-5}= {(x^2)

x = \sqrt{5.436*10^{-5}}

x = 0.0073729 \\ \\ x = 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Dissociated form of  4-chlorobutanoic acid = C_3H_6ClCO_2^- = x= 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Percentage dissociated = \frac{C_3H_6ClCO^-_2}{C_3H_6ClCO_2H} *100

Percentage dissociated = \frac{7.3729*10^{-3}}{1.8 }*100

Percentage dissociated = 0.4096

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%     (to two significant digits)

katrin [286]

Answer:

cells arose from preexisting cells

Explanation:

<em>Rudolph Virchow is a German biologist that built on the work of other scientists such as Theodor Schwan to contribute his own quota to the development of the cell theory as it is currently known.</em>

After several studies, Virchow rejected the idea of spontaneous generation and accepted the initially rejected idea of cell division. He earlier believed that cell division only takes place is some special type of cells and not in all cells.

Even though Virchow was not the first to bring the idea of cells arising from preexisting cells, he was the one that popularized the idea and added it to the earlier belief that all living organisms are made up of cells.
