Answer : Option a) True.

Explanation : A placebo is a substance that is unlikely to affect the dependent variable. True as in a clinical trial for any change in the placebo arm is known as the placebo response, and the difference between this placebo response and the result of no treatment is called as the placebo effect. Therefore, a placebo may be given to any person in a clinical context in order to deceive that recipient into thinking that it is an part of active treatment. It actually resembles a drug but is not an actual active drug, so, it is clear that it will not affect dependent variable.

True. A placebo is a substance used to ensure that the independent variable is what is affecting the dependent variable. Usually used in drug trials

NH_{4}Cl and NaCl Balanced Equation Total Ionic Equation Net Ionic Equation

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs

Explanation

The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...

The Molecular Equation is ...

NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)

Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.

The Ionic Equation is ...

NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)

This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.

The Net Ionic Equation is ...

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)

The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.

Attached is a reference sheet for determining the Driving Force of a Metathesis Double Replacement Reaction. Suggest reviewing acid-base theories and the products of decomposition type reactions.
