Answer:
The dependent variable is the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs.
The independent variable is the water temperature
The optimum temperature for clam development is 30 degrees centigrade.
Explanation:
The graph of the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs and water temperature is attached to this answer.
The independent variable is being manipulated in an experiment. As it changes, it produces a corresponding change in the dependent variable.
Here, the water temperature is the independent variable. As it changes, the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs (dependent variable) also changes alongside.
The optimum temperature is the temperature at which the greatest number of clams developing from fertilized eggs is produced. We can see from the graph that this temperature is 30 degrees centigrade.
Answer:
Explanation:
Two things that can be deduced by this finding would be that the location was most likely a very muddy area with lots of clay minerals, as well as having lots of crustal movements. This is because slate is created when crustal movement buries clay minerals and other materials in the crust of the Earth. This is later melted and squeezed together from the sheer heat that is applied being so far underground. Therefore, creating what we now know as Slate.
Answer:
Q = 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)
Explanation:
Heat Transfer Equation of pure condensed phase substance => Q = mcΔT
Mixed phase (s ⇄ l melting/freezing, or l ⇄ g boiling/condensation) heat transfer equation => Q = m∙ΔHₓ; ΔHₓ = phase transition constant
Since this is a pure condensed phase (or, single phase) form of lead (Pb°(s)) and not melting/freezing or boiling/condensation, one should use
Q = m·c·ΔT
m = mass of lead = 35.0g
c = specific heat of lead = 0.16J/g°C
ΔT = Temp change = 74°C - 25°C = 49°C
Q = (35.0g)(0.16J/g·°C )(49°C) = 274.4 Joules ≅ 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)
The SI unit for temperature is Kelvin.
