Answer:

  • <u><em>Option D. has a great [OH⁻]</em></u>

Explanation:

1) Both <em>acids</em> and <em>bases</em> ionize in aqueous solutions so they are able to <em>conduct electricity</em>.

The ions, being charged particles, when flow through the solution are charge carriers, then they conduct electricity.

So, the option A does not state a difference between a solution of a base and a solution of an acid.

2) Both acids and bases are able to cause an <em>indicator color change</em>.

The usufulness of the indicators is that they are able to change of color when the pH changes either from acid to basic or from basic to acid. There are different indicators because none is suitable for the whole range of pH, but the statement B is not how solutions of base and acids differ.

3) The model of Arrhenius for acids and bases states that an acid is a substance that ionizes in water releasing H⁺ ions (this is equivalent to H₃O⁺) and a base is a substance that releases OH⁻ ions in water. Then, acids have a greater concentration of H₃O⁺ (so option C is not true for a solution of a base) and bases  have a greater concentraion of OH⁻, making the option D. true.

A valid Lewis structure of IF3 cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.

Answer: IF3 (Iodine Trifluoride)

This is because, I (Iodine) and F (Fluorine) both have odd number of valence electrons (7) which also means that there are too many valence electrons in the valence shell.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Temperature of the water

Explanation:

In every study, there must be independent and dependent variables. An independent variable is the variable that is changed in order to obtain a response. In this case, the temperature of the water is being changed, the response in this experiment is the respiration rate of the goldfish.

Thus the respiration rate of the goldfish is the dependent variable because it is controlled by the temperature of the water and changes accordingly.

Summarily, the independent variable is the temperature of the water while the dependent variable is the respiration rate of the goldfish.
