, the student uses a different amount of water and a different temperature of water. What is wrong with this experimental design? A.The student changed more than one independent variable. B.The student did not change enough independent variables. C.The student needs to perform more trials. D.The student does not have a dependent variable.

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.

Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:Releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar

Explanation: homoestasis is the process by which the body keep it's internal environment constant, regardless of change in the external environment. The human body has a normal range in which it's system operates and it uses homoestasis to keep these at constant.

Homeostasis could be positive or negative. It usually involves a sensor which detects the changes in the body and passes the information to the control center, a control center which receive information from the sensor and sends signals to the effectors and the effector which acts on the information sent by the control center to effect normalcy.

In this case, when a person eats food,he gets glucose. Blood sugar most be kept at constant so the endocrine system release the hormone insulin. Insulin helps to convert glucose to glycogen, which is the form it can be stored in the liver

When the blood sugar levels is low, the brain which is the control center causes glucagon to be released . This hormone converts glycogen to glucose

Distinguish(solid,liquid,gas)​
amm1812

Answer:

Explanation:

A solid, at a given temperature, has a definite volume  

and shape which may be affected by changes in  

temperature. Solids usually increase slightly in size  

when heated (expansion)  and usually  

decrease in size if cooled (contraction).A liquid, at a given temperature, has a  

fixed volume and will take up the shape of any  

container into which it is poured. Like a solid, a  

liquid’s volume is slightly affected by changes in  

temperature.

A gas, at a given temperature, has neither a definite  

shape nor a definite volume. It will take up the shape  

of any container into which it is placed and will  

spread out evenly within it. Unlike those of solids  

and liquids, the volumes of gases are affected quite  

markedly by changes in temperature.

3 C2H2(g) → C6H6(g) What is the standard enthalphy change ΔHo, for the reaction represented above? (ΔHof of C2H2(g) is 230 kJ mo
masha68 [24]

Answer: The standard enthalpy change  is -607kJ

Explanation:

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

3C_2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_6H_6(g)

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{C_6H_6}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_6H_6)}]-[n_{C_2H_2\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_2H_2)}]

where,

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_2)}=230kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_6H_6)}=83kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times 83)]-[(3\times 230)]=-607kJ

The standard enthalpy change  is -607kJ
