Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.

The graph given below shows the motion of four runners P, Q, R, and S in a 5 km marathon.
wel

Answer:-

As we can see from the graphical data,

The distance covered by all the four runners is the same 5 km.

Among the four athletes, Athlete P covers the distance in under three hours.

It is the minimum time taken among the four athletes.

Thus Athlete P covers the 5 km distance in the minimum amount of time.

We know that speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Since time taken for P is minimum, his speed is the maximum. P ran the fastest.

Time taken by Q = 4.5 hours.

Speed of Q = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by Q}

                     = \frac{5km}{4.5hour}

                    = 1.1 km/ hr

Time taken by R = 6 hours.

Speed of R = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by R}

                     = \frac{5km}{6hour}

                    = 0.8 km/ hr

Answer is: <span>the pH value(level) is the independent variable.</span><span>
</span>
Missing question: <span>We conducted an experiment where we added 0.5 g of lactose to 5 different test tubes all containing 5 different pH levels. What is the independent variable?
In this experiment pH level changes, so results depend on different pH values.
Mass of lactose is same during experiment,so t</span>he number of molecules of product formed per minute is the <span>dependent variable.</span>
