Answer:
CLEANER
Explanation:
Independent variable is the variable in an experiment that is changed or manipulated by the experimenter in order to bring about a measurable response.
In this question, Marie notices that the current cleaner she is using on her shower is not cutting through the hard water build-up that has accumulated. She decides to purchase 3 other cleaners to see if one of them will do a better job of cutting through the stains. The CLEANERS being changed in this experiment is the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE.
1. Magnesium atoms also have a slightly smaller radius than sodium atoms, and so the delocalised electrons are closer to the nuclei.
2. Sodium has higher melting point than potassium because of stronger metallic bonding .
3. Potassium are very soft metal can be very easily cut with a knife
4. Increase of resistance in metals. Therefore the mobility of electrons decreases and causes decrease in conductivity.
5.To increase strength, increase corrosion resistance, or reduce costs.
6. All metals have low ionization energies and are relatively electropositive, and so they lose electrons fairly easily.
7. All the group 1 metals are reactive, but they get more reactive as you go down the group, so potassium is more reactive than sodium.
Answer:
Q = 3937.56 J
Explanation:
Heat transferred due to change in temperature is given by :

c is the specific heat of water, c=4.18 J/g-°C
We have, m = 15 g, 
So,

Hence, 3937.56 J of heat is transferred.
Instruments
The specific type of instruments depends on the type of laboratory that you're working in: some labs for example use electron microscopes, others use mass spectrophotometers, others use multiplex biochemical analyzers, etc. But very broadly, the specialized tools we use in the laboratory are usually referred to as "instruments"
