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.
Moles of MgF₂ : 1.2 x 10⁻⁴
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Maybe the complete question is like this
<em>A student prepares 100. mL of a saturated solution of MgF2 by adding 0.50 g of solid MgF2 to 100. mL of distilled water at 25°C and stirring until no more solid dissolves. (Assume that the volume of the undissolved MgF2 is negligibly small.) The saturated solution is analyzed, and it is determined that [F−] in the solution is 2.4 × 10−3 M. </em>

The dissociation reaction of MgF₂
MgF₂(s)⇒ Mg²⁺(aq)+2F⁻(aq)
mol ratio MgF₂ : F⁻ = 1 : 2
mol of F⁻ in 100 ml solution :

mol MgF₂ :

No it doesn’t change in size and shape but the mass does change.
We need to use the following formula
Δ


n= 4 moles
F= constant= 96500C/mol
let's plug in the values.
ΔG= -(4)(96500)(0.24)=
-92640 J or -92.6 kJ
