Dependent variable: Weight
Independent variable: Amount of food
Explanation:
In experiments such as the one described, there are two or more factors involved, which act as variables. Additionally, these factors can be classified as dependent or independent. The difference between these two is that the independent factor is changed on purpose by the researcher. This occurs with the amount of food as each dog receives a different amount of food and this is controlled by the researcher.
On the other hand, the dependent variable is the main factor analyzed in the experiment or the factor that is modified by the independent variable. In the experiment presented, the dependent variable is weight because in this experiment the focus is to analyze how weight changes with different amounts of food, and this factor is affected by the independent variable.
(a) it was formed when electrons were shared
NaCl is an ionic bond which means an electron(s) was transferred (from one atom to another to make them stable) not a covalent bond which means an electron(s) was shared
Answer:
Pb²⁺(aq) --> Ni²⁺(aq)
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is given as;
Ni(s) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) --> Pb(s) + Ni(NO₃)₂(aq)
In writing the ionic equation, we break the aqueous compound into ions. The solid and liquid compounds are ignored.
We have;
Pb²⁺(aq) + NO₃²⁻(aq) --> Ni²⁺(aq) + NO₃²⁻(aq)
Canceling the spectator ions;
Pb²⁺(aq) --> Ni²⁺(aq)
