A. the height of the cactus plants

Explanation:

The dependent variable in this experiment designed to test this hypothesis is the height of the cactus plants.

In a hypothesis statement, we can always deduce the dependent and independent variables.

  • Independent variables do not rely on other variables. They are usually the cause of the phenomenon observed in an experiment. In this experiment, it is the rainfall on the cactus plant.
  • Dependent variable is that variable that relies on the independent variable. It is usually the effect of changes in independent variable.
  • The height of the cactus plant depends on the amount of rainfall in an area.

Answer:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄     →     CaSO₄ + H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄     →     CaSO₄ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄     →     CaSO₄ + 2H₂O

The given reaction is double displacement reaction in which anion and cation of both reactant exchanged with each other. Calcium hydroxide react with sulfuric acid and form calcium sulfate and water.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

What is the transfer of electrons in Al + Cl = AlCl3
otez555 [7]

Answer:

3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

Explanation

This is a redox reaction.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
  • [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)

A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.

Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl

[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.

and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]

This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.

Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃

Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)

Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

A balloon contains 5 L of oxygen at a pressure of 90 kPa. How much oxygen will the balloon contain if the pressure is lowered to
laila [671]
Answer is: volume will be 6,7 L.
Boyle's Law: the pressure volume law - <span> volume of a given amount of gas held  varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.
p</span>₁V₁ = p₂V₂.
90 kPa · 5 L = 67 kPa · V₂.
V₂ = 90 kPa · 5 L / 67 kPa.
V₂ = 6,7 L, but same amount of oxygen.

The thing that the discovered is a "partially molten state"<br> What would that be considered as
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

liquid and solid

Explanation:

Research scientists of scotland discovered a new state of the matter which consists of both liquid and solid. Scientifically there are  three states of matter i.e Solid, Liquid and Gas, but now there are chances of one more state of matter which which consists of more than one state of the existing three states of the matter which have both liquid and solid state.  

This discovery took place with the help of artificial intelligence of today's world which is transforming the world  day by day.

The State is considered to be true as it is thermodynamically stable state of the matter.
