A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and

a different type of salt is poured on each, one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is a control variable in this experiment?

The control variable in any experiment is designed in order to apply the same steps of the experiment but with no change happens in the observations.

In this experiment, the student tries to know the effect of solubility of different water-soluble salts (NaCl, CaCl2 and KCO3) on the melting point of the solution. All these salts dissolve in water and give some effect on the melting point except for the sand as the sand doesn't dissolve in water.

Most of the normal microbiota of the digestive system are found in the
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: Large intestine.

Explanation:

There are some common misconception that all the bacteria can cause disease. They play an important role in the digestion of food.

The large intestines is the home for many different types of bacteria which helps in the absorption, excretion and catalysis of undigested food.

There are many types of prokaryotic and eukaryotic bacteria found in large intestine such as Methanogens, Bifidobacterium,Enterococcus, Clostridium et cetera.

1.) How will the rising of a hot air balloon in cold air be different then if it rises in warm air?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a.)It will rise faster in cooler air

a.) heat

Explanation:

i

A hot air balloon rises faster if cold air were to surround it due to density differences between the air in the two medium.

  • Hot air is less dense as the average kinetic energy of the molecules is greater.
  • Cold air is denser.
  • This density contrast causes the balloon to move up at a high pressure.

ii. Heat

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance is termed heat.

Heat is a form of thermal energy measured by the kinetic energy possessed by molecules in a substance.

How does Pteromyzon differ from scolidon and labeo fishes?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Due to agnathous, no paired fins and scales.

Explanation:

Pteromyzon fish is different from scolidon and labeo fishes because Pteromyzon fish is not a true fish. The main reason for this is that Pteromyzon fish is agnathous means having no jaws and it doesn't have paired fins and scales on their body while all these features are present on the body of  scolidon and labeo fishes so we can conclude from this discussion that Pteromyzon fish is different from scolidon and labeo fishes.

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
soldi70 [24.7K]

CH2O5 +603-6CO2 + 6H2O + energy isn't the evidence of conservation of mass in cellular respiration.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. And this law holds good for all sorts of chemical reactions except the nuclear reactions.

In case of cellular respiration, one molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water and energy. Now this energy that is produced isn't produced in expense of mass, but in expense of chemical bonds that are present in glucose molecules.

Also if we calculate the number of atoms on each side of the reaction, the number of atoms remain same as well as number of atoms of individual elements also remain same.
