A variable, which is controlled or changed in a scientific experiment to examine the influences on the dependent variable is known as an independent variable. On the other hand, a dependent variable refers to the variable, which is being measured and tested in a scientific experiment.
In the given case, one is observing that how the amount of salt in a mouse food influences the water the mouse drinks. Thus, the amount of salt in the food in the given case is an independent variable, as one can determine the amount of water consumed by the mouse, by manipulating the amount of salt intake given to the mouse.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Answer: F. Electrons

Answer:
Explanation:
The octet rule does not always refer to a stable arrangement of eight valence electrons because there are some element that do not have eight valence electrons yet they are stable. for example;
i) Helium, It has two valence electrons and it is a stable gas.
ii) Boron triflouride (BF3); it has six valence electrons (deficit valence electron) yet it is also stable.
iii) Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5); it has more than eight valence electron and it is also stable.
For these few reasons it is not always advisable to say octet arrangement refer to stable eight valence electrons.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C.The oxidation state of all the atoms should change.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- A redox reaction which is oxidation-reduction reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
- An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
- In a redox reaction, the total number of electrons lost by the reducing agent must be equal to the number of electrons gained by the oxidizing agent.
