Independent would be the amount of sugar given and the dependent would be the amount of cavities
Scientists have control groups so they can have evidence to show the difference between that one and the experimental ones.
And the independent variable is the one that changes because with out it changing you wouldn't get different results.
I could be wrong tho sorryyy! but i hope this helps
CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial Y - -
Change -X +X +X
Equilibrium Y-X X X
Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²
Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
= 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L
Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
= 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L
The specific heat capacity the substance is calculated using the below formula
Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560 cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?
by making c the subject of the formula
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560 cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)
