An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

cuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell.
In the above experiment, which factor is the independent variable?

Answer: the color of light shining on the photocell.

Explanation:

1) In an experiment there are two kind of variables: independent variables and dependent variables.

2) The independent variable is the one that can be changed or manipulated. This is done because you want to learn how the changes in this variable may explain or are related to other variable (the dependent variable).

In the description of the experiment, the color of the light is being changed, by placing different color of cellophanes ove the same flashlight.

This is how, keeping the control over other possible variables (the flashlight kind and its distance from the photocell, for example) the experimenter manages to change one only variable: the color of light.

3) On the other hand, the dependent variable, is the variable that is being explained. You do not manipulate the dependent variable directly but you want to learn to what extent this dependent variable is determined by, explained by, predicted by, or simply related to, the independent variable.

In conclusion, the independent variable is the color of light.

How does the location of mesosaurus fossils support the theory of continental drifts?<br>​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

For this reason, the existence of Mesosaurus helps support the theory of continental drift; that is, the now-well-attested fact that South America and Africa were joined together into the giant continent Gondwana 300 million years ago before the continental plates supporting them broke apart and drifted.

A chemist has to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.300 M Na2SO4(aq) solution. What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate (formula mass 142.05
Sedbober [7]

The mass of sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, required to prepare the solution is 10.65 g

<h3>How to determine the mole of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Volume = 250 mL = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 L
  • Molarity = 0.3 M
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.3 × 0.25

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = 142.05 g/mol
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
  • Mass of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 × 142.05

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.65 g

Thus, 10.65 g of Na₂SO₄ is needed to prepare the solution.

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte
natali 33 [55]
The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.
