A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and

a different type of salt is poured on each, one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is a control variable in this experiment?

Answer: Fourth one which received inert sand.

Explanation:

A control variable is the one which remains unchanged in an experiment. It does not receive any treatment. It is considered as a benchmark or standard for comparison of changes occurring in the dependent or experimental variable.

According to the given situation, the fourth one is the correct option as the inert sand will not have any effect over the melting of ice. This can be useful for comparison of the effect of salts on the ice.

Answer:

The inert sand

Explanation:

A control variable is the variable in which the experiment does not depend on. The outcome of the control variable does not in any way validate or invalidate an experimental procedure.

The student seeks to investigate the effect of different salts on melting point. He used NaCl, CaCl₂, K₂CO₃ and inert sand. The first three are salts. Sand is made up of silica, SiO₂ and it is not a salt. Therefore, the control variable here is the inert sand. Sand is highly unreactive and would not in any significant way help the investigation.

If 7.35 L of gas at 17°C and 3.55 atm is compressed at a pressure of 123 atm and 34°C, calculate the
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: V2= 0.224L

Explanation:

P1=3.55atm, V2= 7.35L, T1= 290, P2= 123atm, V2=?, T2= 307K

Applying general gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

Substitute and Simplify

3.55×7.35/290 = 123×V2/307

V2= 0.224L

What magma would have formed from the partial melting of mantle material?.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Basaltic magma is formed through dry partial melting of the mantle. The mantle lies just below the crust of the earth. Basalts make up most of the ocean’s crust; this is why basaltic magma is typically found in oceanic volcanoes. See also what substances are emitted from fumaroles? What type of melting produces most basaltic magmas?
