The independent variable is the one we are changing in the experiment. As we change it, the dependent variable might also change.
C. the density of the rock because we are changing the density of the rock and seeing how all other variables change with regards to the density.
Answer:
0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.
Explanation:
Number of moles of HCl present initially =
moles = 0.00600 moles
Neutralization reaction (back titration): 
According to above equation, 1 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of 1 mol of HCl.
So, excess number of moles of HCl present = number of NaOH added for back titration =
moles = 0.00231 moles
So, mole of HCl reacts with carbonate = (Number of moles of HCl present initially) - (excess number of moles of HCl present) = (0.00600 - 0.00231) moles = 0.00369 moles
Hence, 0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.
In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).
Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol
To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=

%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%
We measure temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit
