What is wrong with the experimental design is that the student changed more than one independent variable.
WHAT AN EXPERIMENT SHOULD CONTAIN?
- An experiment is a procedural method of solving a scientific problem or answering a scientific question. An ideal experiment should contain two variables namely: independent variable and dependent variable.
- Dependent variable: This is the variable that the experimenter measures in the experiment. The dependent variable responds to changes made to the independent variable.
- Independent variable: This is the variable that is manipulated in an experiment in order to bring about a response.
In the experiment conducted by the student in this question in order to determine how the temperature of water affects the time for sugar to dissolve. The independent variable is the DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE OF WATER while the dependent variable is the TIME TAKEN FOR SUGAR TO DISSOLVE.
N.B: An experiment should have only one independent variable and all other variables should be kept constant. This is to have a reliable result.
- However, this student used two independent variables (temperature and amount of water) for the experiment, which is wrong for the experimental design.
Therefore, the fact that the student changed more than one independent variable is wrong for the experimental design.

Answer:
To allow all the elements or compounds to separate complete.
Explanation:
In chromatography, the compounds need some space and time to separate, one from each other, if you just use the half of the paper strip maybe you will not notice the different spots of compounds. Remember all the substances have different affinity for the solvents, that means, some react very quickly but others need more time as the colors that conform the black color in an ink.
Answer:
loses, gains
Explanation:
In the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum will lose electrons while each atom of selenium will gain the electrons.
An ionic compound is an interatomic bond formed between a metal and non-metal. The metal is less electronegative compared to the non-metal. In this case, the metal will lose electrons to become positively charged whereas the non-metal, selenium will gain the electron to become negatively charged.
The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic bond.
Answer:
The mechanical energy produced on burning fossil fuels is transformed into chemical energy stored in carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
When fossil fuels are burnt, mechanical energy is produced. Remember that according to the first law of thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Hence the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt for industrial use, heating of homes, electricity generation , cooking etc the mechanical energy produced is not 'lost'. It must be transformed in to another form of energy.
In the image the arrow G----> C, shows the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt are stored as chemical energy in CO2 bonds. CO2 is found in the atmosphere, hence the arrow point upwards from the source towards the atmosphere (C is the atmospheric reservoir of CO2). The energy is subsequently used by producers to produce chemical energy stored in food.
