Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
A. Initial observation
Gary's shell had slime and an odour.
B. Independent variable
The independent variable is the one that the experimenter changes.
There are two independent variables: the rubbing with seaweed and the drinking of Dr. Kelp.
C. The dependent variable
The dependent variable is the amount of slime and odour.
D. The conclusion
Sponge Bob can conclude that rubbing the shell with seaweed and drinking Dr. Kelp removes the slime and odour.
However, this was a poorly designed experiment. He doesn't know if it is the seaweed or the Dr. Kelp that gives the result or if he must use both together. He should change only one independent variable at a time.
For example, the atomic mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 amu; that means the molar mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 g/mol. Further, if you have 16.00 grams of oxygen atoms, you know from the definition of a mole that your sample contains 6.022 x 10^23 oxygen atoms.
Answer:
C. air pollution absorbs carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide's role in the greenhouse effect is a major contributor to air pollution. Radiation and heat emanating from the earth's surface need to be released out into the atmosphere. But because carbon dioxide levels are so high, there is an ozone effect on the ground level.
