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.

How many grams of ammonium chloride (gram formula mass= 53.5 g) are contained in .500 L of a 2.00 M solution?
Elza [17]

Answer:

53.5g of NH4Cl

Explanation:

First, we need to obtain the number of mole of NH4Cl. This is illustrated below:

Volume = 0.5L

Molarity = 2M

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 2 x 0.5

Mole = 1mole

Now, let us convert 1mole of NH4Cl to gram. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of NH4Cl = 53.5g/mol

Number of mole = 1

Mass =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass = 1 x 53.5

Mass = 53.5g

Therefore, 53.5g of NH4Cl is contained in the solution.

How many milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution would be needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of ben
Nuetrik [128]

Here is the complete question.

Benzalkonium Chloride Solution ------------> 250ml

Make solution such that when 10ml is diluted to a total volume of 1 liter a 1:200 is produced.

Sig: Dilute 10ml to a liter and apply to affected area twice daily

How many milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution would be needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride?

(A) 1700 mL

(B) 29.4 mL

(C) 17 mL

(D) 294 mL

Answer:

(B) 29.4 mL

Explanation:

1 L  =   1000 mL

1:200 solution implies the \frac{weight}{volume} in 200 mL solution.

200 mL of solution = 1g of Benzalkonium chloride

1000 mL will be \frac{1000mL}{200mL}=\frac{1g}{xg}

200mL × 1g = 1000 mL × x(g)

x(g) = \frac{200mL*1g}{1000mL}

x(g) = 0.2 g

That is to say, 0.2 g of benzalkonium chloride in 1000mL of diluted solution of 1;200 is also the amount in 10mL of the stock solution to be prepared.

∴ \frac{10mL}{250mL}=\frac{0.2g}{y(g)}

y(g) = \frac{250mL*0.2g}{10mL}

y(g) = 5g of benzalkonium chloride.

Now, at 17% \frac{weight}{volume} concentrate contains 17g/100ml:

∴  the number of milliliters of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is needed to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride will be;

= \frac{17g}{5g} = \frac{100mL}{z(mL)}

z(mL) = \frac{100mL*5g}{17g}

z(mL) = 29.41176 mL

≅ 29.4 mL

Therefore, there are 29.4 mL of a 17% benzalkonium chloride stock solution that is required to prepare a liter of a 1:200 solution of benzalkonium chloride

Problem page what kind of intermolecular forces act between a dichlorine monoxide molecule and a hydrogen bromide molecule?
marta [7]
Dichlorine monoxide has the same structure like that of water. So, this is a polar molecule. For polar molecules, the dominant intermolecular force would be dipole-dipole forces. For HBr, there is a force between two oppositely charged ions, H⁺ and Br⁻. So, the dominant intermolecular force is electrostatic attraction.

Calculate the mean kinetic energy {e1rans) in joules of the following molecules at 350 k: (a) he, (b) co2, and (c) uf6. explain
Lady bird [3.3K]

The mean kinetic energy per molecule is , where  is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

So at 1000°C, the T = 1273.15 K, kB=1.38 × 10-23, therefore the mean kinetic energy is 2.635 × 10⁻²⁰J.

<h3><u>What is Kinetic energy ?</u></h3>

The energy an item has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an item in order to accelerate it. We must put forth effort in order to apply a force. After the job is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transmitted and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy may be converted into other types of energy and transported between things. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's original kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the impact.
