Answer:

Please find the explained difference below

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, the CONTROLLED VARIABLE, also known as CONSTANT, is the the variable that is kept unchanged by the experimenter throughout the course of the experiment. The constants are not part of the actual experiment but altering them can influence its outcome.

A control group is one of the two groups in an experiment (the other being experimental group) that doesn't receive the variable being manipulated (independent variable). The control group is the same as the experimental group except that the independent variable is unchanged in the control group. It is used to make a comparison with the experimental group.

For example, in an experiment to test the effect of sunlight on plant growth. Some plants were exposed to sunlight while some were placed in the dark. The CONTROL group of this experiment are the plants placed in the dark (no light). They didn't receive any treatment.

The constants of this experiment can be same amount of water, same type of plants used etc. This is done in order not to affect the outcome of the experiment.

A sample of helium gas has a pressure of 1.5 atm at 23 C. At what Celsius
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

180.87 °C

Explanation:

Applying pressure law,

P/T = P'/T'..................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure of helium gas, T = Initial Temperature of helium gas, P' = Final Pressure of helium gas, T' = Final Temperature of helium gas

Make T' the subject of equation 1

T' = P'T/P......................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 1.5 atm, P' = 2.3 atm, T = 23°C = (23+273)K = 296 K

Substitute these values into equation 2

T' = (2.3×296/1.5)

T' = 680.8/1.5

T' = 453.87 K

T' = 453.87-273

T' = 180.87°C

Why are cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals?
zlopas [31]
Cirrus clouds are only formed at very high altitudes (6000+ metres). At such temperatures temperatures are subzero and therefore cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals

Which of these statements is not true about the chemical reaction rates
Sholpan [36]

D is the correct answer. Chemical reaction rates won't always be constant, you can change the rate of a chemical reaction. Factors that affect chemical reaction rates would be temperature, the concentration (pressure) of the reactant, or just the general surface area (crushing a reactant would be an example). Solvent polarity can also decrease the rate of a chemical reaction. Therefore, A, B, and C are true, leaving D as the answer.

Describe an ionic bond in terms of the atoms' electronegativity values and what has happened to the electrons involved in the bo
Elanso [62]

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
