Answer:

What are Variables?

Scientists try to figure out how the natural world works. In doing so, they use experiments to search for cause and effect relationships. Cause and effect relationships explain why things happen and allow you to reliably predict what will happen if you do something. In other words, scientists design an experiment so that they can observe or measure if changes to one thing cause something else to vary in a repeatable way.

The things that are changing in an experiment are called variables. A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. Why just one? Well, if you changed more than one variable it would be hard to figure out which change is causing what you observe. For example, what if our scientific question was: "How does the size of a dog affect how much food it eats?"; then, during your feeding experiments you changed both the size of the dog and the time of day the dogs were fed. The data might get a bit confusing— did the larger dog eat less food than the smaller dog because of his size or because it was the middle of the day and dogs prefer to eat more in the morning? Sometimes it is impossible to just change one variable, and in those cases, scientists rely on more-complicated mathematical analysis and additional experiments to try to figure out what is going on. Older students are invited to read more about that in our Experimental Design for Advanced Science Projects page. To be clear though, for a science fair, it is usually wise to have only one independent variable at a time. If you are new to doing science projects and want to know the effect of changing multiple variables, do multiple tests where you focus on one independent variable at a time.

The dependent variables are the things that the scientist focuses his or her observations on to see how they respond to the change made to the independent variable. In our dog example, the dependent variable is how much the dogs eat. This is what we are observing and measuring. It is called the "dependent" variable because we are trying to figure out whether its value depends on the value of the independent variable. If there is a direct link between the two types of variables (independent and dependent) then you may be uncovering a cause and effect relationship. The number of dependent variables in an experiment varies, but there can be more than one.

Experiments also have controlled variables. Controlled variables are quantities that a scientist wants to remain constant, and she or he must observe them as carefully as the dependent variables. For example, in the dog experiment example, you would need to control how hungry the dogs are at the start of the experiment, the type of food you are feeding them, and whether the food was a type that they liked. Why? If you did not, then other explanations could be given for differences you observe in how much they eat. For instance, maybe the little dog eats more because it is hungrier that day, maybe the big dog does not like the dog food offered, or maybe all dogs will eat more wet dog food than dry dog food. So, you should keep all the other variables the same (you control them) so that you can see only the effect of the one variable (the independent variable) that you are trying to test. Similar to our example, most experiments have more than one controlled variable. Some people refer to controlled variables as "constant variables."

In the best experiments, the scientist must be able to measure the values for each variable. Weight or mass is an example of a variable that is very easy to measure. However, imagine trying to do an experiment where one of the variables is love. There is no such thing as a "love-meter." You might have a belief that someone is in love, but you cannot really be sure, and you would probably have friends that do not agree with you. So, love is not measurable in a scientific sense; therefore, it would be a poor variable to use in an experiment.

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

1. The water here is the solvent, and the 'sugar and fruit specific chemicals' are considered the solute. That is as the solute is the component dissolved in the solvent.

2. The collision theory states that the greater the collisions, the greater the rate of reaction. When powdered sugar is placed in the water (solvent) it occupies more surface area, resulting in more collisions that speed up the rate of reaction, compared to a cube of sugar - that occupies less surface area. Therefore, the powdered sugar dissolved faster.

3. Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume. The standard unit of volume is liter, giving you the standard units (mol/l).  Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg).

The concentration of a solution can be given in moles of solute dissolved per kilogram of solvent for molality, and moles of solute dissolved in liters of solvent for molarity. Molality is generally used for concentration.

What's the difference between a hypothesis and a theory?

A. Theory" is another word for "fact;" "hypothesis" is another word for "guess."

B. Hypothesis can't be proven; theories can.

C. Theories have been confirmed through tests; hypotheses haven't.

D. Theories contain many hypotheses; a hypothesis only contains one theory.

Answers

Answer:

C. Theories have been confirmed through tests; hypotheses haven't.

Explanation:

In simple terms, a theory is something that has been studied, tested, and validated with results whereas a hypothesis is when one "guesses" or "assumes" about something with no prior tests. In short, a hypothesis can be best understood as just a proposal while theory can be taken as a validated result.

Through various trials and tests, a theory arrives whereas a hypothesis can be the initial stage of the testing. For example, in saying that "My hypothesis is that this metal cannot bend" is just assuming or expressing one's opinion. But when the metal is tested and a definite result is found, then that becomes a theory.

So, we can say that a theory is a confirmed result after tests while a hypothesis is not tested or confirmed with a definite result.  

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Explain how and why a drop of syrup can spread through the water in a beaker without stirring?

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

A drop of syrup would spread through water because water molecules interact and dissolve the syrup molecules and the molecules of the syrup randomly diffuse into the water from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration till they become evenly distributed in the water.

Once the molecules become evenly distributed into the water, an equilibrium is established and there is no longer net movement.

. The density of gold is 19.32 g/mL. A U.S. $5.00 gold coin has a diameter of 1.62 cm and a thickness of 0.085 cm. The price of gold is currently $53.90 per gram. What is the value of the gold in the coin. V = π r2 h.

Answers

Answer:

$182 is the value of the gold in the coin

Explanation:

Diameter is 2r, the ratio of the coin is = 1.62cm / 2 = 0.81cm

Following the formula of the volume of the coin:

V = π r² h

V = π*(0.81cm)²*0.085cm

V = 0.172cm³ = mL

As the density of the gold is 19.32g/mL, the mass of 0.1752mL of gold is:

0.1752mL * (19.32g / mL) =

3.385g is the mass of the coin

As the price of the gold is $53.90 / g, the value of the gold in the coin is:

3.385g * ($53.90 / g) =

$182 is the value of the gold in the coin

how many particles are their in 2.080 moles

Answers

Answer:

There are 1.253*10²⁴ particles in 2.080 moles

Explanation:

Avogadro's number is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) that can be found in the amount of one mole. In other words, Avogadro's number is the number of molecules that one mole of any substance contains.  Its value is 6.023 * 10²³ particles per mole.

So, you can apply a rule of three as follows: if 1 mole has 6.023*10²³ particles, then 2.080 moles, how many particles does it have?

[tex]amount of particles=\frac{2.080 moles*6.023*10^{23}particles }{1 mole}[/tex]

amount of particles= 1.253*10²⁴ particles

There are 1.253*10²⁴ particles in 2.080 moles

Find the density of a block with a length of 8.0 cm, a width of
4.0 cm, a height 2.0 cm, and a mass of 32 g. Would this block
float or sink in water?

Answers

Answer:

Density = 0.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume} [/tex]

From the question

mass = 32g

To find the density we must first find the volume of the block

From the question the block is a cuboid

Volume of cuboid = length × width × height

length = 8 cm

width = 4 cm

height = 2 cm

Volume of block = 8 × 4 × 2 = 64 cm³

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

That's....

[tex]Density = \frac{32}{64} \\ = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

Density = 0.5 g/cm³

The block will float because it's density is less than the density of water which is

1 g/cm³

Hope this helps you

Answer:

d= 0.5 g/ cm³

The block will float in water.

Explanation:

The density of an object can be found using the following formula:

[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]

where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass and [tex]v[/tex] is the volume. We know the block has a mass of 32 grams. We don't know the volume, therefore we must calculate it.

Let's assume the block is a cube. The volume of a cube can be found using the following formula.

[tex]v=l*w*h[/tex]

The length is 8 cm, the width is 4 cm and the height is 2 cm.

[tex]l= 8 cm \\w= 4cm \\h= 2cm[/tex]

[tex]v= 8 cm * 4 cm * 2cm[/tex]

[tex]v=32 cm^2 * 2cm[/tex]

[tex]v= 64 cm^3[/tex]

Now we know the volume and can substitute it into the formula, along with the mass.

[tex]d=\frac{m}{v}[/tex]

[tex]m= 32 g\\v= 64 cm^3[/tex]

[tex]d=\frac{32 g}{64 cm^3}[/tex]

Divide 32 grams by 64 cubic centimeters.

[tex]d= 0.5 g/cm^3[/tex]

The density of the block is 0.5 grams per cubic centimeter. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm³. Any object with a density that is less than 1 will float in water. 0.5 is less than 1, so this object will float in water.
