You are interested in how different air temperatures affect the speed at which gas molecules move. With a classmate, you have pl
anned the following investigation: Choose a very hot day in the classroom.
The students close all of the windows and doors in the classroom and turn off any fans.
The students measure the temperature in the classroom with a thermometer.
One student stands in the corner of the classroom with a stopwatch.
Another student, 10 meters away in the opposite corner of the room, opens a container filled with a safe, but strong-smelling gas.
The student with the stopwatch measures the amount of time before they can smell the gas.
Repeat the steps above on a very cold day in the classroom.
Identify the independent variable in this investigation from the list below:
A. The temperature of the room
B. Amount of time before they smell the gas
C. The distance between the two students in the room
D. Not enough information is provided to identify the independent variable
E. The type of gas in the container
B is the answer. For an equation to be balanced there must be the same amount of each element on the two sides. The only one where this is the case is B.
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.
Anions are attracted to the positive end of a dipole, while the cations are attracted to the negative end. As the size of the dipole moment or the ionic charge increases, the vastness of the attraction also increases. This type of attraction is important for solutions of ionic substances in polar liquids.
